steering clunk
Hi all,
My wife's 2004 rx330 makes a popping/clunking sound often when she is turning. The circumsatnces vary but she says it happpens almost daily 3 or 4 times a day. I have heard it occasionally and it seems to be coming from the front somewhere. I have removed both front wheels and lubed almost all of the joints. She turned the wheel while it was up on the jacks and of course it did not make any sound. I thought it may be the bushings or the ball joint because I always hear it when I go down the gradual curb at the end of our driveway while turning. The mileage is 46,000.
Can anyone help me with any ideas? Should I replace the bushings and ball joints? Is it easy to do?
Thanx in advance,
Mike
