Noticed clunking noise from front end. Checked and replaced both outer tie rod ends and both lower control arms complete with new lower ball joints.
Front OEM sway bar comes from factory hollow; rusted through on right side and busted. Not a safety issue, just some clunking during turns. Bought a solid steel replacement from 1AAuto.com and had my mechanic install.
