Hi everyone, started hearing some noise on the front end when going over bumps, pot holes, cracks, etc. Sounds very clunky and happens from low speeds to high. Lifted the front end to check what was going on and found a couple of things. Would like some insight of what the noise could be.
CV Axle Boot (Passenger Side):
![]()
LCA Bushing (Driver Side, closest to the front):
![]()
- I also have a video linked here of me prying the LCA to check the bushing (not a good noise?)
I did do the same test for the LCA bushing on the passenger side but it was more squeaky and less knock (and took more force to pry) so I assumed it was good. The CV axle boot concerns me a little as I notice some slight tearing but the axle seemed fine. Would replacing just the boot be okay? Would hate to buy a new axle unless I really had to. Would also mention that ball joints were replaced in the winter and sway bar bushings were done a month ago.
