[QUOTE="rideelement247, post: 10288941, member: 113234"] By pop it open I meant he popped open the drain plug hole, lol sorry, not THAT retarded with rear ends or suspensions. Said it was right under the hole and not much had leaked out. Will get a tool and check it out myself. Most of the work on the car I am capable of doing, but being my DD I don't have time to dedicate to breaking the car open and the reason for using a shop to do most of the work comes down to time and not having a lift. Car has 45k miles on it. Steering creaked when wheel was turned on the frame lift so no load was on the tires. As I said earlier the tightening of those bolts worked for about 10 miles then not so much anymore. Personally I think one or both tie rods may need to be replaced. One was newer looking than the other one when I bought the car. That or some bushing or connection to the steering rack is causing the creak. I will have it on the lift or on stands in a week or so to straighten it out. P.S... creak isn't really a creak, it is more of a clicking noise. It will click click click rather than squeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak if you can picture that lol. If the wheels are in a straight line and I decide to turn the car right it makes 3 clicks as the wheel turns and that's it. If I take the car and drive around clockwise in a circle the car makes slow click.....click......click......click noise. Each single click happens about every time the car goes 1/4-1/2 away around the "clock". [/QUOTE]
