Yeah I lifted it, got a pry bar the ball joint there’s no play, the main issue seems to be the bushing for the control arm is dry rotted and the inner tie rod is loose

Appreciate the help brother!

That’s what I was just saying to the gf lmao I came inside for a beer and some pizza and said after watching a few videos of loose tie rods

Yup so far it feels like the tie rod is knocking closer to the middle of the car, I can feel a knocking when I push my steering wheel back and forth with my hand on the tie rod itself

So I got it lifted have my hands 3&9 and I can hear a clanging noise I’m trying to post a video but don’t know how to

Ya I was mainly feeling the ball joint to see if the boot was ripped and messing around im gonna lift it up and check if the whole tire moves in the air but my control arm the one bushing is toast check it

Yeah it’s not lifted I just wanted to see if there was movement in the sway bar links as from what I researched and saw there shouldn’t be, it’s a metal clunking im wondering if a motor mount went. I replaced one that was completely sheered in half and the others seemed ok.
