I get this weird crunching like noise from the front end. I hear it when I go over bumps, turn, and when getting in and out of the car. I'm just curious to know if anyone else has had this problem, knows what it is, and roughly how much it costs.

Happens to mine too, usually when im past my front end grease date. The noise is just old bushings, control arms and what not. Try greasing your front end and that should help for a while (meaning pump grease into all the zerk fittings). Easy to do if you have a grease gun. If not you should get one.

But if you want to fix the problem for good you need new bushings. I think the ones that make noise are usually the sway bar bushings. They arent expensive and are fairly easy to do. If you pay a shop youre probably looking at 500 in labor to do your bushings, all of them.
