The sway bar end links are usually the cause of the noise on the front of those vehicles. If you jack up one side of the vehicle at a time to inspect them the force from the other wheel will make them seem tight. You have to lift and support the entire front end with both wheels off to accurately check for movement if you cant get at them with the vehicle on the ground. they used a ball and socket design on them that resembles a tie rod but has a plastic insulator inside the cup that wears out rather fast and will eventually separate completely. If you intend on keeping the vehicle there are better options out there that don’t have the plastic on metal design but cost more. You get what you pay for though. Hope this helps.
sway bar links and all around where like new, found it to be upper ball joint greesed them and greese came out around the seal….gonna have to wait I aint got that kinda money and don’t have the stuff or muscles any more at 63 🙁
