To see if this is an issue, you can have someone turn the steering side
to side while you go under and look at the bar/bu****ng located on the
top passenger side of the axle. If the bu****ng is bad, you will see
some slop there when the steering turns.
It is just one bolt and one $50.00 or so bu****ng. Not a long job at all.
Same for sway bar links, if they are worn enough to make noise, it
should be obvious with a loose end on one. They also are a fast easy
swap. If you do them yourself, hold the bolt head with the torx bit
steady and turn the nut side, much easier.
