CAN'T GET A BREAK!!!

Now I hear a clicking sound when I turn the wheel and when I hit a bump I hear a subtle squeak..I don't know what it is but i'll get it looked at hopefully next week.


I can't afford any problems right now...sucks!!!

"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
not so much a problem as it is an annoyance. there's a thread dedicated to these sort of suspension problems. could be control arm/sway bar bushing or part of strut assembly

My guess is that the problem may be strut bearings. It cured my noises over bumps and dips.

Bought the car in 2006..nothing but problems. Mileage is 80 something thou..

Clicking just started last week..usually hear it half-way before full turn. There is no click however once you pass that point...at least none that I notice.
It's so apparent when backing up and when just simply turning the at a stand still.

It feels like its hitting something but I can't seem to see any snag.

Guess my bet is to raise it up for inspection.

Thanks all for the input.....

Lower control arm bushing and sway bar has been replaced.

True..It is annoying as hell. Just hope it's nothing major.
