When turning hard left, and IIRC hard right I'm hearing a clicking noise. It only happens when you turn the wheel far enough.

What are some things I need to check when I have time after finals later this month?

I had that a month or so ago, replaced: (in this order)
- steering rack bushings: didnt solve it
- sway bar bushings: didnt solve it
- a-arm bushings: didnt solve it
- tierods: didnt solve it (put a bumpsteer kit tho)
- balljoints: the culprit, problem solved. (installed steeda x2s)

If I were you I'd do exactly what I did, might as well just replace everything while you're at it, and go for higher quality stuff. Checkout my sig.

I had the exact same problem and it was a wheel bearing. When I took it into for to get fixed they said there was a TSB about that.
