Well guys time to get our slueth hats on. I am starting with the new ball joints. Will report results.

I am thinking ball joints, perhaps bearings. The clicking/catching could be some crud/rust in the bearings and is actually a lovely grinding. Speculation is king! Tear it down and see what the verdict is. I am going on 44k miles and have not repacked my bearings AT ALL yet. No issues as of yet, but I smell it coming....

Are you implying wheel bearings? When mine were redone they were in really great shape. Ball joints top and bottom I will replace the tie rod adjusters, and ball joints.

If anyone has product recommendations for new Ball joints , preferably aftermarket, please post.
Thanks

Before you replace ANYTHING, clean it all up and lube it all up real good and see how it fares. May be that you just have some junk-on-junk action on the ball joints and its working like an elderly person's dried out hip socket, heh.

And no, the bearings was a far-fetched guess as to possible culprits. I highly doubt that is the issue, but they do cause some related symptoms.

What type of lube? Some points are sealed too (somewhat)...
I have noticed the looseness I can feel tactilly (sp?) on some bumps.
Thanks for the feedback.
