TiminIndy is on a distinguished road
I inspected my CV boots and control arms today. All of the CV boots are fully intact and clean as a whistle. The thrust arm bushings still look like new, but I didn't have anyone around to turn the wheel so I could see what they look like on sharp turns. I know that the sharp turn noise was fixed last time by replacing these, but I just find it hard to believe that the Lemforder thrust arm bushings would fail after 19 months and 15,000 miles.

Then I started thinking it might be the tie rod ends. The ball joints on the end of those look fine, but those are the only ball joints up front that haven't been recently replaced.
