because the tie rod that is connected to the suspension is in and the bolt is to but only a little and wont keep turning to go up would i be able to drive it just so i can get to a shop?

 

sounds kinda sketchy to me.... why take a chance of destroying your car just get it towed

 

did you get hit or did you just put a new tir rod.... how would that get loose

 

its because i put new springs into my car and i could only get the bolt that holds the strut and the tie rod to go up a little then it wouldnt but i took it to a shop cuz i was tired of dealing with it.........but after they installed the springs there is like a popping sound when i turn on the driver side only does anyone know why its doing that?

 

mine does that to... right after i put on my springs. but i never did anything with the tie rod but yeah its safe to dirve to a shop but i would just tighten the tie rod bolt as much as you can i just installed the driver side tie rod with ease.. but thats all i can say

 

need to get an alignment after messing with the tie rod and installing new springs.

 

Based on your previous thread, I think it's your axle. When you had to slide the joint back in, did you ever take the boot off? ANY dirt in there and it's shot.

 

no i never took the boot off i drove it to the shop how i had it and didnt make noise but after the shop installed my driver side spring it keeps making like a crunching kind of noise when i turn left and it only on the driver side

 

do you hear popping/crunching noises after upshifting through the first few gears?

 

...the bearings on your axle are prolly shaved off. u might have to get a new one. have the shop look @ your axle to make sure.

 

my car made popping noises too. It went away after a while after everything settled in. how much did you drop your car? also if the nut wouldn't tighten anymore you could've just held the bolt with some small vice grips and tightened it that way.

 

no its nothing with the gears its just the spring maybe cuz their new? well i hope they go away soon cuz it sounds pretty shitty and i lowered the front 1.4"

 

I still say axle

 

mine pops because my left tie rod boot is bust.

 

so im gonna have to get a new tie rod boot ? cuz i dnt think its the axle cuz the noise comes from up top where the springs are at not any where else

 

also check how the spring sits. and no, if your tie rod boot is bust, you'll need a new tie rod. by bust i mean you popping the actual boot or puncturing it.

 

ohh well no its not punctured and the tie rods are like this \_/ like they go up instead of straight is that common after altering the suspension and i think that popping sound comes from the tie rod hitting against something thats around it because its close to somethings around it on both sides but it only makes noise on the driver side
