front end clicking
sometimes when im making a sharp turn i hear a pop or a click at 3/4 crank.
i know already i need 1 new bearing on the drivers side, but it only makes noise while on the highway. anyone have an idea?

RE: front end clicking
Could be the ball joints. On my olds (last car) they made a pop/clunk/click whatever you want to call it. It also could be the end links on your sway bar. The factory ones are crap and they don't nesacarily break but the slid out of the hole on the sway bar because of the crap design. Reach up under there and feel the part where the sway bar link goes through the hole on the sway bar. If the link isn't completly on the other side of that hole the link is bad. Look at the bushings on the links make sure they arn't torn and you have metal-metal contact. It also could be the sway bar links rubbing on the lower control arms. It also could be the bushings on your control arms or sway bar. I would start with spraying some teflon/silicone lub on the bushings of your sway bar and control arms. Sometimes they get dry and they start to make noises, I had this problem a couple weeks ago. Without hearing it I would have to guess that it is the ball joints or bad sway bar links. Hope this helps
