Every time I make a turn slowly I hear faint cklikng from the font wheels. I know I need to upgrade my suspencion components since as now I got the bottom ball joints. Bewsides the clicking If I take the steering to the limit and make a turn I feel like if one of my wheels snapped out of place.
My suspencion is getting upgrades but it will happen one part at the time. If someone knows or had this same situation lett me know so I can uprade that first since I Dd it. Upper ball joints are fine,lower good too, swaybar are good, what else can I cheeck. Thanks in advance:icon_ques

Tie rods would be a place to look. Also a loose shock top can clunk around some.

There is something else i discovered about the tires. All of them seam to be doing this, althoght i havent instaled the bushings yet. I know some odd sounds may be caused by rocks that are in the treads? Its like having a sticky section in the tires,so a s it rotates it sounds as when taking the tape of something as it spins.

That part is a cover on the steer wheel stop bolt. That would only generate a noise if the steering stop was touched with the wheel turned.

I thought that might be what he was describing. This is from his original post.

The noise it makes, missing the stops, is a common complaint. A little grease makes it alot less noticeable on toyota trucks, never tried it on the supra though.
May not be the issue, but sometimes its the easy stuff that gets overlooked.
