It has new ball joints, bushings, tie rods and sleeves. Just changed the wheel bearings and races on the left side where it sounds like the clicking is coming from. It only happens on a slight right turn over 20mph and increases with speed. I'm at the point where I'm watching for the wheel to fly off! Last edited by ColorMeGreen; 07/21/14 11:07 PM.
