hey everyone..i am having a problem with my front end and it seems to be my tie rod ends but i am not sure so i want to get some advice...well the problem started about 1 month ago...sometimes, well most of the time, when i am turning i will hear a pretty loud cluck noise coming from the front end. i hear it sometimes if i hit a certain bump but most of the time when turning. it isnt a clicking noise but just one cluck...i would think the tie rod ends but unsure.any solutions?

 

I am just wondering what makes you think it is the tie rod ends? Because it could be a lot of things by the way you are describing your problem.

 

well i had a honda accord beore the vigor and i remeber having a clunking noise and then a couple months later my passenger side tir rod end broke and then after it was replaced the noise was gone..it was just a guess so that is why i posted it on the forum to see what it could be...any ideas though..so i will eliminate the tie rod end but can u help me out and give me some other possiblities..

 

Look for a broken boot. Balls joint, tie rod, cv joint, etc. The bad part is usually the one with the broken boot, because all of the grease has gone away and the dirt, grime, water, and rust has entered.
