Never the less when do you hear noise and what does it sound like? Be as desciptive as you can. Where does noise seem loudest from? (in reply to Lithorian) Post #: 13

Any repairs prior to noise? With car on lift using rubber mallet can you strike tire and duplicate noise? (in reply to Lithorian) Post #: 15

I will obviously have to get it fixed but it is more of an annoyance at this point than anything else because the steering is still very tight. (in reply to slowroll) Post #: 16

Do you know how much these parts might cost or where i may be able to find them because i can get some help getting them put on. (in reply to slowroll) Post #: 17
