| Front suspension Click
After having serviced the front axle, 2 years ago, I hear a click when turning left. I replaced the right CV joint as part of the service, but kept the left one original. The click goes away after driving, but every morning the first left turn yields a click. I replaced the steering linkage and drag link assembly, sprayed the steering shaft u-joints w/ lithium grease, and topped up the steering fluid.
Also, the power steering pump is whining & groaning.
Any ideas?

Check that the suspension bolts are tight enough. If one is a little loose, there can be a clicking noise that will have you scratching your head. It's the 24mm. |

I had the same sounds and it was the top shock mount bolts that needed tightening... |

Also, check your tie rod ends for wear. If they've never been replaced, the rubber is likely severed and creating friction. |
