i believe the last time i had something like that fixed it was a bushing. pretty sure. the other side is going out now too and ive been told to get that one done now. if none of them have been replaced in awhile, it may not be a bad idea to have all of them looked at...

Take it to the dealer for the free ball joint recall ... while it's up in the air ask them if they see anything else ...

Its a RECALL for the LIFETIME of the car you dont have to pay anything call them back and tell them to perform the balljoint recall and it will be 100% free.... dont pay for it
