Ball joint?

[Mr.E]

I have a mostly Maximum Motorsports suspension (CC plates, 4 wheel coil overs, panhard bar, lower control arms) and I'm getting a sound like something is loose in the front end at low speeds. I had a mechanic look at it and he said one of my calipers was dragging. I them fix that and no dice. I jacked up the car to check the ball joints. There is no play in the wheel top to bottom but there is some play front to back. Is that the ball joint or tie rod end?

Check the Inner and outer tie rod ends. Also see if the play is coming from your wheel bearings.

definitely a tie rod end.

think that's my same problem...i don't have all the other fancy set up like you yet, but my tie-rods are pretty worn down. think it's the inner causing the problem

side to side will be the inner or outer tie rod.

there sure are a lot of suspension questions today!!! YAY, i get to be useful!!
