Unhappy Creaking steering noise (Video)

Hello All,

I've been having an issue with the steering / suspension making noises on the right (passenger) side. I've uploaded an HD video to youtube. Has anyone had this issue?

How many miles on your car? Is it really loud clanking/banging/metal on metal type noise with the window open? I would imagine it sounds a bit like mine if I were to record it. I've been meaning to replace the bushings for the last couple months. Now that I've got the time, it's a project I just started. I'll let you know if that really was the problem. Started taking stuff apart today. Will finish tomorrow and have to take the car in for an alignment.

This is the project:

That sound means that you have a couple hundred miles before your ball joint separates. I heard that noise and about 200 miles the joint separated while I was going 50 mph.

Get it changed ASAP
