Do you hear a creaking noise while turning the wheel in your car or truck? In this video, Sue has tips to help you detect stiff or frozen ball joints and tie rods! For most vehicles, outer tie rods and ball joints both have flexible ball in socket joints. The joints are packed with grease and covered with rubber boots. Over time, or if a boot rips or tears, water and debris can get inside the joint, make it stick, and even cause rust. These joints will seize up, or dry up, causing lots of vibrations and noise. Check out this video to learn how to identify and solve the noises from bad joints!

This is the second video I have watched by her. I am impressed. She speaks slowly, clearly, and accurately, and explains the theory and physics behind her repairs. She also has good manners and is sociable which I cannot overemphasize enough. So many of the people who do car repair videos cuss at me and mouth off like street thugs while they are supposedly showing me how to fix a car. This woman is a breath of fresh air.

Yes there's nothing I love more than getting under my truck to service it. For how long it takes it will save a ton of frustration in the future. Great video.
Until u strip a nut or a bolt and it’s off to the mechanics to get it off 🤣🤣 god damn I was replacing my tie rod ends today and my passenger side one was fairly easy until I got to my driver side the Nut that holds the tie rod onto the the steering arm was siezed on there and I tried for an hour until I stripped it no wd40 no PB blaster couldn’t do it … now it’s stuck and stripped .. not looking good so I have to go to the mechanics for them to do it sadly. I couldn’t get it off… gotta get an alignment as well.. aside from that you do save a lot of money Doing ur own mainetnce. I’ve done all the mainetnce on my truck.. it feels good lol
This lady is cool. More videos by this lady!
Thank you for this clear, concise, thorough explanation and demo video!!!🙌🏼
I have a car repair workshop in Kurdistan. I have received a lot of information from your videos. Thank you
only if every car repair video was like her
Just purchased front end kit from your store: upper,lower ball joints, and tie rod ends for my Lexus GS 300. All the great videos on how to fix things has really helped me through the years. I bought them all at a great price they are scheduled to arrive Friday the 15. Hopeful they get here that quick.
Thank you for all you do for us out here!
How quick did they come? Quality parts?
She is cool and very knowledgeable. Excellent human skills. A very important aspect of the industry that is often overlooked.
Good gravy that was a brilliant explanation and demo. Thank you for that and PLEASE continue to produce this quality of videos. The internet needs you!! lol
You are such a good teacher! I really appreciate this video!
This lady is very knowledgeable
Started hearing that noise when I was at full lock turning to back into my drive... Now I know it's one of those two for sure. Being the original suspension components, I'll put money on both.
Love watching your videos. Please keep them coming.
Love the diagnostics. ❤️
Very well done video. From the host to the editing.
Great Video. Thnx.
At the 5 min mark you took the words right out of my mouth.!!!
I took my sons car for an oil change (LOF) to Midas in Orangeville, Ontario, trying to support a local business, & they did Not grease the car.
The car is older, but new to us. I went back to inform them that they had missed it, & they blamed me for not telling them.
I didn't even want any resolve, it was more an "FYI" for them to tell their lube tech. Needless to say they lost a customer that day.
Thank you so much for this! Excellent video and explanation! 😅I was wondering what the noise that just started yesterday on my charger . Now I know. You’re a life saver!
Awesome video, great explanations, great detail I have been fighting front end steering and suspension issues for a year this is the best most helpful video I have found. Thank you

I love listening to this lady she is great .
Great video! Thank you for helping me diagnose where the problem is instead of me just replacing stuff 😅
excellent video! differently that the endless "alike" videos on utube (many doesn't even has a sample of the noise that gets talked about), your walk through is great! thanks
Impressive I love working on my car but I'm not as good as you. Thank you for this video my Honda 2013 is making this exact noise and all 3 men mechanics that have supposadly checked it have been all over the place with what could be the problem go figure lol Young Lady You Rock!
This helpful. I have the same problem right now.
Thank you for posting this and giving me peace of mind
Very educational learning experience, thank you so much for this.
Amazing video thanks for explaining it so well. Gods work in this channel.
You hit it right on the ball..joint that is..I recently did my own front end full suspension and had no idea about the greasing. A few days later I hear this exact sound and realized I never put any grease so I added some..the sound is back a month later and I'm wondering if I destroyed the joint as the damage was already done.
Nice vid. I noticed the same exact noise yesterday morning and checked to see my mechanic didn’t replace my drivers side tie rod end when front end work was done 😅
Very well done! Excellent video
Install a grease fitting on both tie rod ends..
Very useful lady mechanic! 🧑🔧 Even with sound effects like @ 3:57 it’s just perfect… 👏🏼
My 2016 Honda making this noise I thought it was the axle when moving left to right. 😂thanks for clarifying great video
Your exposition is very clear. Congratulations from Guayaquil, Ecuador
Question: When I turn the steering wheel of my 2012 Chevy Tahoe, the steering sounds like a zipper. what could be the damage?
So helpful. Thank you.

Awesome thank you so much! Massive help to me.

Thanks
And this is such a great video.
I have the exact noise when turning my steering wheel ever so slightly , and I was told it was the struts . So Monday they are changing both front struts ..
many thanks
You're great! Like for real. Keep it up!
Great job!
Muy bueno y ameno el vídeo.
I fixed mine by buying a needle for a grease gun and injecting grease into the boot,then sealing the boot with permatex ultra black silicone.
Patrick where in/on the boot to you insert this needle? Or do you just pierce the boot ?
Where did you find the needle?
I liked the bloopers.
Thank you good shit
Thank you for the video. Do the tires have to be hard to turn by hand on all wheel drive cars as you showed on the beginning of this video?
Thank you for the vid, I’ll be checking for this exact sound this week!
change as soon as possible because if that ball joint fails and breaks out of the socket. Somehow you'll have no control and your wheel would be completely loose from the steering... also, putting it off of damage other parts on my car like tires , but yeah, your upper control arms can suffer even more so if you don't replace them in time.. at least on my car
GOOD VIDEO. TY
Awesome 👌
Doing the lords work
So glad my ball joints are still good.
There not hard to change
Great video :)
she is AMAZING.
I had a Honda Accord which I just installed new rear springs and ended up with a creaking noise on the driver rear area. It turned out I had over tightened a few bolts back which caused the creak. I bought a new torque wrench and tightened all things back there to spec and no more noise.
Wow
You are awesome
good tie rod issues exolanation #👍🇵🇰
This was good info. Could you add captions to the videos? If possible.
Thanks. I wish I saw this video before I went out and bought a freaking left cv joint thinking "Well it it worked for the passenger side, then it's going to work for the driver side. And I bought it based on that smh. There was nothing wrong with my old cv left cv joint. My disappointment when I struggled to get out the left side only to see it in good condition 😟😕
I asked a toyota mechanic friend what "lube chassis" means on my invoices, and he burst out laughing.
"No-one ever lubes anything" he responded.
And they charge u $250.
I lube women chassis
@@Way2EasyDIY me 3 😮😅😊
That's why it's been made cheaper to buy a whole new part, rather than pay them to replace bushings.
Just got my tie rods front and back replace now everything grinds
Thanks should you replace both inner and outer tie rods as same time
Thanks my does that noise. Iam going outside tomorrow morning and check it out. Thanks again.
Replacing any one of these parts will I need a front wheel alignment?
Question? Fwd Dodge Avenger. Passes standard testing for tie rods. However, if the steering wheel is slowly moved or rocked back and forth, it's only then that the issues with inner tied rods can be detected (can feel it when hand is on it and also hear it). Any ideas why?
you are great
Man, if I had a lift I'd do everything myself. But It can be hard doing suspension work on your own driveway without professional tools.... I've done it before but boy does it take all day for a simple fix.
Super 👌
Thanks for the video. My car had been making a very similar noise for several months now. I took it to a mechanic for a service and asked them to check the noise. They told me they couldnt find anything wrong !?? Its still making the noise. I am going to try another mechanic and show them this video !

Will this throw codes? Like traction control / stabilitrak
I have a similar noise and sounds like binding up but I replace tie rod ends n ball joint and the noise came out of nowhere
It prevents me from accelerating in a turn but if I roll into a turn it doesn’t sound bonded up
I have a similar sound on my 2011 silverado but it's coming from the rear. I'm thinking it's my leaf springs but it just started happening out of the blue. Any ideas?
Hey I just got my tie rods (inner and outer) replaced and now I am struggling turning my steering wheel to the left. it's real hard and I can hear that same nose. but the right is fine but sometimes want to get stiff also. Took it back to the place who fixed my tie rods and they said give it a few days to loosen up. that the part might be frozen. Is that correct???
Same noise when im reversing and putting the trucki into forward gear and coming off of the brake. Not when turning the wheel though. Sounds link its in the rear. Any suggestions?
I'm getting them creaking sounds but it's still easy to turn the wheels? Would this still be ball joints and tie rods? Also there's a little play in the wheel, it can rotate it about a cm forward and back with a clunking sound coming from somewhere closer to the engine. Please help
Would one of these also make the stearing will stick when driving??
Where r u located? i wish we have a car shop here in bay area like you 😫
It would be great if you showed how to grease those joints
😊
every grease gun I've had has been a pos... but I do it anyway!
Milwake electric grease gun.
A+
I have a 2016 Chevy LS Tahoe 2 wheel drive
I am.getting the same/similiar noise ever sice I i stalled new tie rod ends that I bought from your company. It never mad this noise before. My brother checked ball joints and they are good and tight.
I hate to say it but I'm going through the same thing with my 2nd pair of tie rod ends from 1a. I appreciate their video but I want more so appreciate good lasting parts..
hows the quality and durability from you products online?
Women power good mechanic 🙏🏾
That's exactly the sound my car started to do yesterday.. sigh more repairs...
I’m having this noise at low speeds but cannot duplicate when manually turning the tire on the lift. Tire isn’t hard to turn either. Struts and tie rods were replaced 6 months ago. Is it likely the ball joint or something else?
