A while back I installed new stock LCA/UCA and tie rods with fresh ball joints and bushings. In the last few weeks i've been hearing creaking and popping coming from the front end. It initially started when I'd pull out of my drive way (pretty steep incline). Now it's happening when I turn and on occasion when driving straight.

It sounds like something is binding, but everything was OE spec and I can't see any wear or rubbing on the wheel well around the suspension bits.

Anyone have this issue or know what is popping/creaking/binding? It bugs me to hear it, but my girl is afraid to ride in my car cause she thinks its gonna fall apart.

Car is a '94 Civic DX. stock everything ex. lowering springs

 

just from reading the title i suggested ball joints. what brand ball joints did u pt in? i ask because some may come with zerk fittings where u have to grease them. i highly doubt that but jack it up and check all the parts u replaced. g/l

 

I bought eBay specials. They don't have the zerk fittings. They have sealed boots.
