ok i just noticed last night while driving around that i have a new noise up in the front end and something to do with the steering , like tre or cv, when i am at a stop i jiggle the steering wheel back and forth not full turns butjust wiggle side to side and it makes a clicking noise..then sometimes when i am driving then come to a stop as we stop i hear the same click up in the front end as if something is loose.....it does not do it alot when i am turning but it does do it sometimes...??

ahhh not to thread jack or anyhting but i have slightly the same problem.so why not put it here instead of making another thread with same question.... clicking while stopped steering and when i am braking i get a tumping form the front right... i did get a preety good crub bash on that corner also tho.... Im thinking Upper control arm? is whats causing it and with the 91k mils is got i bet the TRE and CV are just about out also... Sound right?

control arms are a plroblematic thing in these cars. it wouldnt hurt to take off the wheel and poke around.

Safe bet about your noise: The same thing happened to me right after I replaced my upper control arms. Turns out the alignment tech didn't realize how tight the tie rod ends need to actually be. I took it right back, and he really tightened them up good. Re-checked the alignment, test-drive, all-good since then.
