SOURCE: Front Right Tire Making Bad Rattleing Sound

Chrysler products as a whole are not well known for quality front end components ( I own one ) I would check the upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends for worn or damaged parts. If no satisfaction here consider returning to where it was repaired and have them re-inspect thier work. All of us in the industry do are best but none are perfect.

When I turn into a parking space or onto a street it sounds like something clicking or vibrating even when i push my clutch in

Most clicking/popping noises when turning indicate a bad ball joint in the front axle. The CV joint has a boot over it that will eventually rip, causing the grease inside to be slung out. Dirt and moisture will get in there and cause the smooth joint to pop when under stress, like turning.

04 mountaineer brake light on, grinding and clicking noise front driver wheel

if the clicking noise happens when turning the wheels while driving, the most likely problem is the output axle shaft ( drive axle ) when the boots rips you loose grease and they start to grind and clicking and brake away. ( recommended to bring to an auto repair shop ) roughly price on drive axles are $125 for the part and 1.5 hours labor.

Now, if those noises could be duplicated without driving ( just moving the steering wheel side to side ) it could be a bad ball joint or pitman arm.

I really don't think that the brake light is related. I would go straight to your mechanic and avoid all pot holes and drive slowly.
Good luck.

On a 88 Maxima there is a leak from a broken seal or gasket behind drivers front tire.

You should be able to tell if the leak is
from inside the steering rack bellows (Boot)

If you see there is--- no fix-- as the rack is rebuilt in a factory
not serviced on car.

May just be a leaking steering hose

Next to the tire is the drive axle boot & just grease inside
Unfortunately you have to remove the axle to clean cv joint
add new grease & boot kit or 90% of the time replace the
axle as dirt has ruined it

Shakes on the front right side at 50 miles especially if i hit the gas

Vibration, usually upon acceleration? Sounds like the passenger side axle may be (possibly)wearing as the clearances inside the axle wear out, creating excessive movement when under a load (acceleration). Usually a rapid vibration that increases as you speed up.

I Have a 2003 Grand Am with a vibration. I think it is in the front end. The left front cv shaft feels a little loose on the inside joint but the other side feels about the same thou. The left side is a...

Vibrations are tough...

I'd start with seeing if vibration is there at all speeds...I'm assuming vibe is felt thru steering.
Usually vibes at different speeds can be tires. (bubbles or worn)
Vibes at all speeds can be tires, rims either out of balance (slung weight or dirt inside rim) or warped wheel (curb tap).

I'd check your tires, rims and alignment first...then move to possible warped rotor where brake caliper may catch a little.

Hope this helps...

Wobble while driving. After inspecting saw that the right front boot on the axle was weather cracked, assuming no more grease inside, what parts do I need to replace?

A CV boot will generally not cause a wobble. If the boot is not cracked open there is plenty of grease inside. If the boot was leaking grease you would see it slung all over the back side of the knuckle, brake caliper, and inside of the wheel.

If the steering wheel is moving back and forth at slow speeds the first thing I would check for is a separated tire or a bent wheel. If you feel the tread of the tire it should feel smooth all the way around. If there is a high spot or bump it is separated.

The easiest thing to do is have the tires balanced. Tell them you are getting a wobble in the steering wheel. They will inspect the front tires closely and if they find an issue have them show you what they found.

2004 jeep liberty front suspension seems to lock up front tires while making a turn WTF????????

Sounds like the tires are hitting the wheel wells. THis is Deadly.

Do you have oversize tires on the Jeep? Is your front axle drive engaged? Is it slung low to the ground like a low-rider? Any of these can cause 'lockup' in the front end when turning. If not, I would have the U-joints, CV joints and drive linkages checked.
