clicking in the front while turning?????
clicking in the front while turning?????
A couple of months ago, I started hearing this clicking sound in the front end whenever I make sharp turns in parking lots, driveway, etc.
I'm thinking that it's a CV joint, but not real sure...Is something like this covered under warranty?

I'd have the dealer look into it for sure, use the warranty now because unless you are loved by them, your screwed after time/mileage is up. I've been lucky, had a story all set and they said ya ok whatever, it's covered, no worries. Even when the rad went, 30 k after warranty, I said WTF, and another dealer said if I was a costumer of theirs, it most likely covered (dealer/ costumer loyalty). Hope you can figure it out and soon in case it's a major deal. If it only happens sometimes and once during the turn instead of rotation of tires, check the tie rods. Mine did this, a small snap, turned out to be the driver outer tie rod, knew this because it snapped months later while driving
I have the same problem, i thought it was just a squeeky front end or something. .Ive taken mine to the dealer several times for this and the brakes and everytime they tell me there isnt anything wrong with it?? i guess ill just have to wait till it breaks or becomes a major problem?
Jack up one of your front tires and wiggle it back and forth to see if there is any play in the tie-rod ends. Both of my tie-rods are bad on my 2004 Fx4 with 25,000 miles. Dealer has it right now. I'll let you know how it goes.
Edit: Ha! Dealer called about 10 minutes after my first post. The tie-rod ends are being replaced under warranty.
