when I’m driving down the road and I turn the steering wheel very slightly left or right there’s like a knocking noise from the front of the car it doesn’t matter what speed I’m going thou at higher speeds the knocking is faster also the steering wheel will ever so slightly bounce to the right every time the knocking happens.I believe the knocking is getting worse so I know something needs to be replaced so today I took a look at the front suspension and it looks like both tie rod ends are bad which kinda confused me so I was posting to see if someone could watch the video below and tell me if I’m right and if I need to replace anything else also I know I really need all new tires but is it really dangerous to drive on a tire like that?
car: 1997 Honda Civic ex
about 170k miles

Don’t get sarcastic with me lol but yea after a little more research it does look like its the inner tie rods. I’m going to look over the suspension 1 more time but I think I’m looking at buying:
2 inner tie rods/rack ends(as they’re called)
2 steering rack boots
2 tie rod end ball joint boots
4 tires
wheel alignmentas an effort to maybe helping someone one out I’ll be sure to come back and post and update of how it turns out.
well turns out its was the tire you wanna know how I know? because the treads came off that tire and scuffed the crap out the whole fender, panel, bumper area there’s also broken clips and other stuff. about the suspension I haven’t bought anything yet except for the tires but I still think the inner tie rods are wearing out so I’m gonna try and get my uncle to look at them first but I’m definitely going to be replacing at least 1 rack boot and 1 or 2 tie rod end ball joint boots.
