Whats up folks, another misguided attempt at modifying my car.

I just installed some eibach pro kit springs perched on some kyb gr-2 struts/shocks all the way around. The installation went pretty smooth except on the driver side front, when I tried to get the knuckle off the spindle back into the new location to bolt into the struts, I couldn't lift it up high enough to slide in there by myself. I used a floor jack on the bottom of it to get the leverage to lift it up. Needless to say it worked, but the first time I started jacking it up, I heared a loud pop like something broke. Anyways, suspension was installed and took it for atest drive.

Everything seemed to be okay, but now whenever I take bumps I hear this clicking sound coming from the wheel wheels, and when I take hard right hand turns or banks at high speeds, I hear a bdpbdpdpdpbpdpdbpd (nice sound effects ;) from the wheel well also.

Also, from a standstill if I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right adn back again I feel a binding, of sorts, like rubber is hitting on something. I jacked the car in the air and looked under and I see some fluid over the tie-rod boots. Is it possible I cracked my inner tie-rods? I don't want to driev much on it and possibly require a new rack, thats a pain in the ass to remove/install. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks

Jeremy
