There's been a lot of talk lately about replacing balljoints/tie rod ends/bushings after lowering your car. My steering feels great (seems to me, anyway), but I do have a small "clunk" in the right front suspension, so I'm thinking about freshening the front suspension. How hard it is to replace the upper balljoint and tie rod ends? How much are the parts?

 

the upper ball joint is part of the a-arm it's spendy like $110.00 the tie-rod ends are around $15 (outer) and they're easy to change along with the upper ball joint if you have a ball joint tool

 

Check your right axle for wear, it could be your axle that is clicking. Ryan

 

WOW where i just put a new set in and the cheapest i found was 32$ ea.

 

Anybody know how to check the various bushings/joints to check what needs to be replaced or what's causing the noise?

 

jack ur car up, make sure the suspension is under load... get another jack and jack it under the lower control arm.. wiggle it and look at the ball joints
