balljoint recall fixed but still popping?

[NewClipse96]

I finally had mitsubishi fixed my recall on the balljoints, and well my creaking has gone away but there still popping like crazy with i turn the wheel... Is there another set of balljoints like upper?

 

[eligst21]

Yes. There is 2 balljoints. A lower and upper one. Im sure mitsubishi only fixed the lower ones, since that was the issue with the recall. Are you sure its the ball joints and not tie rod end links? Maybe a thought if the ball joints are fine.

Yeah, check your outer tie rod ends, when mine went bad it creaked like a mother f*cker everytime I turned the wheels. I also had blown upper ball joints. I just pressed the old ones out pressed in new ones and changed out my outer tie rod ends as well as replace both lower control arm. Going on 4 yrs and no issues, just the right rear lower control arm bushing is eaten up from an oil leak dripping oil all over it. Try checking them out and replacing as needed.

Ya it was only the bottom but I havent thought of tie rods. I no alot on the front end needs fixed, the guy i got the car from said his mom only hit a small hole but... We no front clip, air bags popped and strut blown and a little more sounds like he hit a sink hole hah. But just wanting a few ideas on what it could be.
