Default clicking sound left front end??

There is a clicking sound that I hear which i belive is someway linked to my suspension. its not like an axle click it doesnt do it in turns. i notice it when i accelerate or brake..or sometimes a bump. its only on the left side of the car and it all started one day when i jacked that side up. what should i check and what do I look for?

I've got the same noise, except it's coming from my right side. Is it a bad tie rod or just something loose? Cause I had both of my inner and outer ones changed about two months ago and thats when mine started making the noise?

Find a small local repair shop, not a big chain and have them check out your front end alignment. Ask them if they will tell you what is wrong and if it's something you could do to help save money, Then bring it back for them to align it.

Not really, if it's a worn end, your safer to have it replaced. I had one changed for $40.00 with alignment by the local guy I have been going to for decades.

If you plan to live in the area for a long time, find a local repair shop and build a relationship with them.

I bring everyone I can to my local shops, the payback is priceless.
