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!!!🙌🏼
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?
I have a car repair workshop in Kurdistan. I have received a lot of information from your videos. Thank you
You are such a good teacher! I really appreciate this video!
She is cool and very knowledgeable. Excellent human skills. A very important aspect of the industry that is often overlooked.
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.
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
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.
This lady is very knowledgeable
Awesome video. Exactly what I was looking for. What a fantastic tutor you are!!
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 😅
Great video! Thank you for helping me diagnose where the problem is instead of me just replacing stuff 😅
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!
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!
I love listening to this lady she is great .
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
Very educational learning experience, thank you so much for this.
only if every car repair video was like her
Subscribed in a heart beat! You’re great!
Amazing video thanks for explaining it so well. Gods work in this channel.
This helpful. I have the same problem right now.
Thank you for posting this and giving me peace of mind
My 2016 Honda making this noise I thought it was the axle when moving left to right. 😂thanks for clarifying great video
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

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.
So helpful. Thank you.
Very well done! Excellent video
Very useful lady mechanic! 🧑🔧 Even with sound effects like @ 3:57 it’s just perfect… 👏🏼
Excellent instructions!!!
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?
Great video Lady 👏👏
your videos are the the best!!!
Thank you for making this
Exactly what I was looking for.
Great video thank you
Excellent video!
Awesome thank you so much! Massive help to me.
Amazing video a lot of information 👍
You guys are the best
She’s really pretty good. Hard to say why, but I listened better and she pre-empted questions that raised themselves during the job. Yes, fair to say if the part is NEW and stiff, that’s good. If it’s old and stiff, then it’s freezing/rust/dryzabone. Now, there’s a couple of points about these sort of jobs. If you are using a hammer, this mechanic did it all right, you whack the side of the part the balljoint goes into, first. It ‘cracks’ the gluing effect that rust has. If you have to hammer the balljoint out, then apart from anything else, pre-lube a day or week before, use a small wooden baton atop the part-screwed-on nut you;ve positioned, get someone else to hold a scissor jack under the thing (hub) at the point where you are hammering. Use a big hammer. Decent lump hammer minimum. The idea is, not to tap-tap the metal of the nut, which is liable to deform with that force, yet NOT actually enough to split the balljoint apart. A fewer, larger bashes with a bigger hammer and an intermediate wooden batten, or even a steel chisel/bar, supplies the force but without the distortion of the nut etc being as bad. Just got myself an impact driver, specifically for those jobs where trying to stop the balljoint turning is an awkward thing without three arms. Impact driving allows the luxury of the part undoing before the balljoint or whatever, spins it seems. Great vid, just a very personable mechanic, easy to watch and listen, it’s a relaxed delivery. Good work!
thank you for an informative video .
Thank you.
You're great! Like for real. Keep it up!
Thanks 😊
I would love a playlist on one particuliar car showing everything you guys know.
If anyone has such a thing please reply with link or words.
Thanks
And this is such a great video.
Great job!
Very good Mechanic to 100%. in Practice and Theory from Montreal, Canada
Thank you
many thanks
Thank you good shit
GOOD VIDEO. TY
Muy bueno y ameno el vídeo.
Awesome 👌
I liked the bloopers.
Thanks
Great video :)
Thank you for the vid, I’ll be checking for this exact sound this week!
Doing the lords work
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
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 ..
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 !

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?
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 😟😕
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?
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.
Install a grease fitting on both tie rod ends..
So glad my ball joints are still good.
There not hard to change
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
You are awesome
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.
you are great
good tie rod issues exolanation #👍🇵🇰
Super 👌
I was supposed to leave on a road trip tomorrow from Pa to Tx, went to fill up with gas tonight and heard this noise coming from my mini cooper. Guess I won’t be leaving tomorrow 🥺
This was good info. Could you add captions to the videos? If possible.
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?
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?
Replacing any one of these parts will I need a front wheel alignment?
I just got a new boot done and that creaking was there as i thought it would have been fixed so im assuming its one of the 2 things you found wrong?? Would adding grease fix this or how would i go about fixing this??
Wow
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???
every grease gun I've had has been a pos... but I do it anyway!
Milwake electric grease gun.
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
Thanks should you replace both inner and outer tie rods as same time
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 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..
It would be great if you showed how to grease those joints
😊
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?
Thanks my does that noise. Iam going outside tomorrow morning and check it out. Thanks again.
Will this throw codes? Like traction control / stabilitrak
Would one of these also make the stearing will stick when driving??
That's exactly the sound my car started to do yesterday.. sigh more repairs...
