Wheel Rattles over 60 MPH 700 1989

I recently had my steering rack replaced due to a failing old one. As far as I can remember, since then, the front left wheel rattles and shakes when driving at or faster than 60 MPH. I had the front tires balanced - that didn't help. Then I noticed that the outer tie rod of the front left wheel was wearing out - I was able to shake the wheel with my hands while having the car jacked up - something I wasn't able to do on the right side. I tracked it down to the outer tie rod, and a visit to my garage confirmed it. I had the rod replaced. And to my surprise, the car still rattles and shakes at 60 MPH and up, and only on the left side. I am at a loss as to what could be causing this. Could it be the new steering rack, or something else? Does anyone have an idea?

Car is a '89 740 Turbo Wagon with 110K on it.

Thanks!
