Hey guys, this is my first time asking a ? so I'll be as specific as i can.
I hve a 2002 dodge stratus se with the 2.4 four cylinder.
Recently the left side tierod end began to fail so i had to replace it. Right after i replaced it, i noticed a grinding sound coming from that side when i would turn all the way left or back out to the left. I asked and my friend said it could be the cv joint. Well i though ok I'll still replace the other rod end and see what happens....Now i hear the sound on both sides when i make hard turns or back out sharply. I didnt touch the cv joint on either side when I replaced the ends so it cant be that. These sounds were NOT there before and i think maybe the wheels are catching on something under there, or my turning radius has been affected.... i just don't know.
What do you think I should do?
