Re: front suspension

Nature of the beast. A wonderbar helps, but even after redoing my entire front suspension, I still get creaking on slow tight turns (like parking lots). I just choose not to turn like that anymore, and I've learned to park accordingly.

Re: front suspension

Clicking or clunking anyways i would check your swaybar bushings and links
Stock tires?? Check for any rubbing could be a wheel bearing going also

Re: front suspension

Shake the frontend down to see if anything is loose, also check brake pads for movement in the caliper & also check A-arm bushings for wear.

if it didn't do it before he changed the balljoint, take it back to the shop that did the balljoint and talk to that "mechanic" cause he obviously didn't put it back together right.
