From a start initial torque on the wheel and when braking hard at slower speeds i notice a clicking sound from LF wheel. It will click 1-4 times whenever it occurs and it happens about 85% of the time when the above conditions are met. Im thinking it is my tie rod end... does this seem like a logical suspect for the noise? The only other thing i was thinking it could be is the sway bar end link or radius rod bushing.

Anyone experience this before, or know what it may be?

could be your axle. not the other cv boot, but the inner.

 

Yea i was thinking about that , but these axles only have about 8,000 miles on them (+3 auto cross events).

 

are they autozone/advance axles? for the whole summer so far i've swapped axle's every 2-3weeks. first time i was like "yea, ready for the event" then the clicking happened again during the event. need less to say went back and got another axle.

another thing is if it is a lifetime autozone/advance axle, it's free. it just takes a little time to swap out.

 

I had a popping on accel and braking and it ended up being inner tie rod

 

Check everything. It could seriously be anything from a bad outer CV, to a tie rod, to a ball joint.

 

Found the problem

Got an alignment and figured i would put a new outer tie rod end on it, there was some play in it. This did not fix the problem... I went over every bolt in the suspension and everything was tight, except the rear bolt on the the radius rod, turned it another quarter turn or so and it solved the problem.

thanks for the help

 

good job. my right front suspension is making noise again.
