[QUOTE="wingzee, post: 661255, member: 22730"] Tie rods can be one of the causes, which is the cheaper option to eliminate first but most cases are due to the 2 parts as listed. Quite straight-forward to pin point if you have the following symptoms: 1. During idle/stationary, turn steering from left to right and listen for any "kluk" noise. Refer to video below: [video=youtube;bwT1_Lv9fz4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bwT1_Lv9fz4[/video] 2. Very obvious steering free-play and even more when driving through uneven patches of the road. 3. When #2 happens, loud clunking noise from inside the steering column. [/QUOTE]
