Sounds like the bushing in the rack is going out. If that's the case then just drive it till it gets annoying and replace the rack then.

Best way to catch that especially as it wears more is to jack up that side to get he weight off the wheel and grab that tierod and wiggle it. You should see play towards the rack as it gets more miles on it.

Basically until your willing or ready to replace the rack there isn't anything to do. It will eventually be noticeable when the cars running so until it gets to that point I'd ignore it.

Yesterday i changed both front lower control arm and stabilizator links and i still get steering wheel shakes. And nobody can't identify what us wrong eith may car. In one month 3 car mechanic looked the car and nobody figured what us wrong.... Any ideas?

The sound seems more like the steering shaft u joints. This unit...



These double u-joints can wear and become noisy when the steering is rocked back and forward. It's also possible that the clamp joints have come loose.
