Hey guys looking for some help, I have a slight clicking in the front end near my tie rod ends. It happens on certain turning degrees, but only when I'm turning. Could it be the tie rods are shot? Just got the axles replaced, and it's nowhere near the loudness of a busted axle. Sounds hillarious when I turn but I want to get it fixed.

Wheel bearing?

jack up your front end, grab your front wheel (driver or pasenger) and start shaking. If there is any play, its probably your tierod ends. if not, its probably something else

is it when you go over bumps? cus a very common noise people over look is the lower compliance bushings i work at the dealer and change em all the time if they are broken they making the nastiest clunk and the sway bar links as well doesnt hurt to check em

Check the fron LCA bushing i have a similar noise and i know my passange side bushing is torn. It sounds kinda like something is knocking on the passanger side floor when going over bumps or turns

does it sound like a loose component? I'm experiencing the same in the rear and it kills my handling as if I don't have my 27mm rear sway bar anymore.

I got the clunking noise but not during turning, just when i had to slam my brakes one day, drove like 2 1/4miles of "clunk clunk" then stoped ever since, YET im scared of braking hard now, BUT WILL UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN I HAVE TO, is this a problem i should be scared of?
