    Question Clicking/Clunking noise coming from the front, HELP!

    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.

    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

    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.
