Fitted yesterday the new Meyle HD front lower arm rear bush and new steering track rods (kit).
After that an all wheel alignment has been done.
Now the car go straight like newer and does not require anymore continuos correction on the steering wheel to maintain a straight line.
Everything on the front axel feels tight and a better drive is noticed.
If you need to check your track rods health, rise one front wheel at a time by an hydraulic jack just under the front suspension foot, then move the risen wheel with your hands grabbing it at 9 and 3 o'clock. If it play more than 10 mm it is time to replace the steering rods.
Do this for both front wheels 
DIY require no more than 1 hour but a good wheel alignment is mandatory after labor.
Note: during play checks try also to move your wheel grabbing it at 12 and 6 o'clock, if it plays could be a front bearing issue...
Finally rising one wheel at time permit a more accurate check of the play due the opposite side wheel is locked from the car weight. - Easy-Lift suspension module 4.0
