So about 3 months ago I started to hear a quite popping/clicking sound from the passenger front of my 97 3.0 CL. My first thought was maybe a ball joint so I went ahead and replaced my upper control arms, lower ball joints, brake pads, rotors and noticed the bearings had a bit of play so I replaced the wheel bearing also. The sound continued and turned in to a squeaking as I turned my steering wheel and hit bumps. So I figured struts or strut mounts, so I got a set of quick struts for the front and rear and the noise went away for about a week and now the sound is back again. The bushings look to be in good shape but that seems to be the only thing left. Any suggestions or help would be awesome, My car sounds like an old wooden ship.

 

It's the bushings, trust me
