I keep hearing some clunking noises from engine bay and this only happens when I turn the steering wheel to park. So I suspect that front ball joints are at the end of their lives.
What are my options in regard to changing the front ball joints do you all think?
Do I just get new ball joints or is it more economical to change the entire front lower control arms?
I want to do this job myself.
If you could recommand some products, I would appreciate a lot.
