Default RE; Noise at front end

Check control arm bushings, and outer tie rod end joints for dry (i.e.- collapsed rubber boots). Problem with this is that most newer models have sealed units (no grease nipples) so lubing cannot be done until tie rods are replaced with type with grease nipples. Easy enough if you have the knowledge, and the proper tools to do yourself. Either way, if you have mech. replace, make sure they install tie rids, ball joints etc, WITH grease nipples, not without, and you can avoid future problems with a grease gun. Hope this is some help.
