When I was in presicion tune place, by the way TIE ROD repair cost me $161.97, this guy had me walk out to the car and look underneath, he stuck a huge screwdriver everywhere and was lightly "prying" the lca, the front sway bar, and tie rods the other small link above tie rod with his screwdriver...to see if there was any play...moved a little, LCA was tight, but no more play than the right side. And he said "the bushings are bad, but I dont think that knock we heard could be from the bushings." (Im gonna try to "lube" the bushings on left side.) "could be the ball joint" he said. I was going to buy a LCA w Ball Joint but the LCA was tight so why should I do the LCA? maybe next year. So i got a new ball joint installed, noise still there. Ive been to 4 different places now, and everyone agrees, suspension noises are a b!$^#!! I dont know what to do or where to go this is the most annoying POP ive ever heard. I feel it more in my brakes than the steering wheel, thats kinda why I dont think its the RACK. Ill definately post the result here soon. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate anything you reply to and I will take it to heart. Im going to check the S BAR here soon. stupid Q: is the sway bar/stabilizer bar both the same thing right? or they are different? Could it be the wheel bearing??? this POP I hear is LOUD as HECK so I thought no way could it be the bearing popping like that. No, it POPS only when braking or accel. Could the steering Rack POP? Its coming from LEFT side not the middle though.
