My summer car have cv joint boot problem but it was already repaired. That's suck if my winter beater have same problem. I guess no big deal and I will used that click noise.

Yes, I think they replaced inner tie rod in May 2008.

Sounds like typical dealership BS to me; rubber boots don't click. :rolleyes: Could be CV joints, inner tie rods, steering rack, or maybe an intermediate steering shaft problem.
I know you would rather fix it under warranty, but I would get it checked out by a repair shop that won't give you BS stories... wink

Yeah but this dealership is 3/4 miles from me. Other shop is like 4 miles ahead. I live alone. I hate to walk home lol. I'm thinking install hitch on winter beater that I removed my summer car during gt/p rear bumper block it. Then ride the bike to home for fast way. I will do that next year if I want to fix it.

i was thinking "intermediate shaft" too but I couldn't remember the name of that part, lol. you could definitely feel the "click" if that was bad. but it would only be one time per turn, more so when turning the steering wheel from left to right, or right to left.

inner tie rod would also be a one click per turn, and again more so when changing from left to right.

if it is a constant clicking, but only while turning, then CV joint is bad.

I would also say to have a 2nd shop to check it over.

I would hate to see a shop mis diagnose a CV clicking as a rubber boot...

Haha, can't argue about the poor driving. I would still take the ride versus walking, as long as YOU have your seatbelt on, not much bad can happen.

oh about ride lol

Nah, I rather walk to home better than get into wreck with bad driver. Not all seat belt help. If he goes like 75-80 mph then I'm dead. His dodge truck have very poor star accident rating so that's why I freak out to hang on for my dear life lol
