Numerous front end noises

Hey everybody. My 01 cc has always had alot of noise but after sitting for ten months she has gotten worse. I have checked and regressed all the joints and they all seemed fine. During turns sometimes there is a loud pop. Is it time for some r&r on my hubs? Or else should I be lookin? I do not know very much about these front ends. Willing to learn though!!

Thanks all.
Hope everyone had a good and safe cinco de miyo

The stabilizer bar bushings are all due right now, that will make some banging over bumps. I don't know about the rest.

Stabilizer bushings will really make a difference. I'd let mine go and got used to the racket, fixed em and OH BOY !! Got em at Riff Raff from Clay.

Never bought anything from clay but from what I've heard you can't go wrong with him!! Thank you for all the respones. Hopefully I can get this fixed so my girl will be happy about it again. I swear she cares more about my truck then me!! If only she would pay for some parts!! 😜

So... how much is a placid partner worth? I see money spent on keeping "Stinky" comfortable, safe, and healthy as an investment - and a happy wife that enjoys the truck as the return on investment.
