Hey guys.
I have this problem, when I'm making sharp left turns.... it makes metal grinding sound coming around the wheel... But not sharp right turns...
Im guessing it's from ball joints or tie-rod ends... are they not lubricated enough?
It doesn't seem like it's a big problem... but I really want to get it fixed as soon as I can.
Thought I could get some ideas here before I take it to any shop. Thanks

 

I had the same problem, but I got it fixed. You can't just lubricate them, you need to change them and they can either be the tie rod ends or the ball joints or even both. I would rather change both just to be sure. Price around it just for one part is 60 dollars in an autozone I don't remember the price for the ball joints but I think the total was less than 100 dollars, of course I dit it my self, I don't really know how much is it at a shop, but I'll say around 120 o for labor or even more, it only takes like an 1 hour for one side, thats taking apart and installing new parts.

 

sorry I forgot its parts plus labor, watch out for the price they give you at a shop, like I said I don't really know how much they're going to charge

 

what was your problem? ball joints? or both?
I'll find out how much they estimate and help me if you think it sounds right.
thx

 

my problem was the rod end but I decided to change the ball joints while I was at it.
