ok so im quite sure that my front strut mount bearing are totally trashed, but i tried having someone turn the wheel while i listen for noises up front, when it clicks, the IACV also clicks!, well it might be more of a tick, why what gives anyone know?

Does it click at the end of each turn, left to right and right to left ??

Mine does that, I think its normal

the end of each full turn or the end as in when i stop moving the wheel? its the 2nd one

The IACV ticks when you move the steering wheel? It ticks all the time don't it?

What exactly in turning the steering correlates to the tick in the IACV?
I'm baffled!

any creaking isn't normal...it's not supposed to...change your strut bearings with new OEM nissan brands. You won't hear a thing anymore. Some 4th gen models apperently have some steering rack problems, get that checked out aswell(97-99 i think). also if you want the life of your steering components to last, never turn the wheel while the car isn't moving. You are putting a lot of stress on it's components, making them wear out even quicker. Eitherway, suspension strut bearings aren't too expensive, but the labour might be, cause the front shocks have to come out. Eitherway, good luck

well, i try not to go to the stealership if i dont have to. im throwin in some tokico HP's and springs in a couple weeks so ill just replace em them if i gotta.

as for the steering rack, how would i check if i have a problem? (i got a 99)

and yea, i only turn the wheel while not moving when im turning around or something. i dont sit there and turn the wheel for fun lol
