Re: 99 steering question
I have the same noise with my 99. I changed the control arms, springs, struts, inner and outer tie rod ends and still have a small knocking when I hit bumps and potholes, I suppose I should also change the bushings on the stabalizer bar. The tie rods were easy to change, but had to get an alignment afterwords.
Another thing that I haven't changed yet, which could be making that noise are the motor and trans mounts. I know that mine are really bad.
