[QUOTE="Rodney Leary, post: 980654, member: 69411"] Not the steering stops sway bar looks okay I found that the upper ball joint on the drivers side seems to have a tear or break. There is grease all over the control arm. I wired it down and regreased, but the grease is just coming out the backside of the boot... so Im assuming it must be damaged. This is like 6 months old. I called advanced and they said if the boot is ripped or torn they will not replace it... hmph. This is not 100% certainty.. but the likely cause of the crunching sound the the vehicle shift pressure to that side. [/QUOTE]
