Hi Ian. I was wondering if Service # 03-02-32-049 (10-29-2003) release of new outer tie rod ends would solve a knock like sound I am experiencing when turning right and then immediately left. I took my car to the dealership for the noise and they were able to duplicate the problem but all they did was re-torque the steering gear mounting bolts and lubed the right side lower control arm bolts and bushings. This didn't eliminate the noise. It just made the car feel tighter and there is less noise when going over bumps on the road. Previously, this car had the engine cradle replaced and this greatly reduced some of the front end noise but overall this vehicle seems to be prone to rattles and noise. Oh, and it has had the intermediate steering shaft lubed and the noise for that is more like a clunk and not a knock like sound. I would really appreciate any input you may have. Vince
