About a week ago or so, my car began to make weird noises coming from the front left part of the car. (right in front of driver) So i asked around and initally i thought it was the power steering pump going out.....


But now, the sound turned from a groaning into a crunching sound almost. And im pretty sure its not the pump because tonight i was pushin down on the front left fender and i could hear the crunching sound. (car/engine was off)

So what could it be? Tie Rod? I have no clue....

If anyone does have any ideas....please tell me how hard of a drive way fix it will be.



THANKS

The only downward movement would be the strut. Im actually in the same boat. My front struts are screaming right now. Mine sqweek with a nice crunching sound.

SO before i ask anymore questions, let it be known i dont know anything about suspension......


SO when people lower there car, do they replace the struts?(maybe an excuse to lower the car) Can i replace a strut? Is it very hard to do?

What tools are needed?

THANKS AGAIN

my car was doing the same thing up and down movement and when i would turn the wheel.. it was my lower ball joint. outer tierod ends will do the same thing I didnt replace it yet I just poked a small hole in the boot with a pick and sprayed some lube in it. I plan on doing lowering springs this summer so I will replace it than lubeing it is just temp....
