wierd front end clicking noise

I'm working on a friend's 2005 tl. It is a manual trans. He told me it had a front end click so I went ahead and put cv axles in it. I also did lower ball joints and outter tie rods. But the front end still has a click and it seems like it happen when it Get close to lock to lock. What should I be looking at? Could it be inner tie rod? The wheel bearings seem good.

Don't think so. Because it doesn't do it with the front end jacked up.

Oh yeah. The classic shade tree mechanic move. Instead of diagnosing it correctly let's just throw parts at it using the customers money and pray that it solves the problem.

Please don't tell me you work on cars for a living.

Ahh yes, the classic forum poster who doesn't know how to help someone but will make fun at then when it's presented. Thanks for the help.
