thanks for the site

 

Is that a single click/pop/knock sound when turning wheel?
Mine does it once when doing a slow hard right turn sometimes after going straight for a while. Like turning off of a main road into a parking lot.
I'm wondering if its the same thing.
What exactly makes that sound?
Does this require immediate attention or can I give it a month or two before getting to it?

I thought that ball joint slide show was great.
I didn't get the putting the jackunder the rotor?? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Also I think the shaft spinning when trying to tighten would be a potential pain to an otherwise simple procedure. Any other thoughts?

 

ya that happens to me to but it has been making that noise for awhile an now its just getting worse if it is the cv joint its good to fix it asap u dont want that to break while driving or anythin
