Okay starting in September my car on the driver side started to make a crunching sound when i go over a bump. It sounds like something is loose but i have checked out all the control arm, ball joint, and replaced the Sway-end links today. My rack-pinion boot is torn and will be replaced soon, but can that be the cause? with a worn out rack-pinion bushing and a outer tie rod end too? Theres no play with the wheel though. Maybe its the cold weather making my springs creak? Thanks

 

strut mount is probably worn/lose.

 

Worn strut mounts or blown struts
