So I replaced both front lower rear control arms, tie rod ends, front and rear sway links/bushings...everything was on point until about 2 days ago...I get this clunking noise when I go over a pothole or pull into the driveway...ALSO, when I brake, theres a creaking noise, like old wooden doors all coming from the front driver side!

Thanks in advance

 

Push down on your front fenders, if you can hear the noise replace the upper links

 

just like infamous I have the same noise although I have it coming from my passenger side. I have pushed on the fender and still hear the noise.

My question is should I get a Meyle kit for all 4 front control arms or........
pardon the noob question but what are the upper links? If need be I can just replace them? I don't want to half *** the job is what I'm basically saying....I'll do the whole kit if the upper links are included in the kit.

Hopefully it waits until I get springs and shocks so I can lower it and fix the problem all in one.

 

upper links= upper controls arms. yes you should replace both sides. if it was me, i'd do the whole front end which includes upper, lower and tie rod ends. might as well just get it out of the way all at once rather than taking the car apart multiple times. only thing is it's a long job if it's your first time and the pinch bolt that holds the upper arms to the spindle is the devil. all the other bolts should come out fine. get the full hardware kit and lube everything up when you put them on

 

Awesome.....that's what I figured but wanted to make sure.....
Now alls I have to do is convince the wife that I need to drop the car as long as I'm taking all this **** apart..........

 

Now that, I'm looking at replacing everything, I was looking around and went to Blauparts and found the Meyle kit.....but I also found the Ocap kit. Now on appearance the Ocap is $100 cheaper but comes with the Meyle tie rod ends so now I'm wondering if one is better than the other.......
