Is that something I should worry about? If so how much would it cost to fix it?

Re: What is that noise?

Could be just about any front suspension part. One of mine did it alot, and I replaced the idler arm which fixed problem (about $30 IIRC). Also, the wonderbar (aka steering brace) will help alot too (about $90 IIRC). If you haven't done any of it, it's probably time for all new suspension up front anyway. Might as well save the bucks, and do it all at one time - since you have to take just about all of it apart to do any one piece.

It's amazing what new tie rod ends, ball joints, struts, shocks, idler arm, sway bar bushing & end links will do! I did mine in a day, in the driveway, replacing with Napa parts, poly bushings, Eibach springs, and Bilstein struts - about $1200 worth.

ya I guess a car with 117,000 miles will start to show its age sooner or later. I wrote down all the parts so I'll save up and do it right. Thanks alot for your help.
