Blown Strut? Clicking noises....

[Andre G]

I have this clicking noise on the front passenger wheel of my 02 GT when I go over bumps im not sure what it is... any ideas?? the car has 79k miles on it

Jack up the front and see if the wheel that is clicking has ANY play whatsoever in it. Make sure the car is supported very well on JACKSTANDS before you start shaking the front wheel to do this...

This clicking could be ball joints, inner tie rods ends, outer tie rod ends, steering gear, etc.

There is no way for us to really troubleshoot front end noises. You have to inspect the front suspension components to really figure them out usually.

Also, check the condition of your inner tie rod boots while you have the front end up.

check the ball joints, tie rods, end-links

It would also be a good time to lube all joints with a silicone spray while you're under there.
