There is a clicking noise in the front of the car that occurs while driving. I thought it was the steering, but it happens as I'm driving straight too. I had my oil changed and tires rotated today, but the mechanic said he didn't know what it was. A code P1443 came up,with no DTC definition found.

  1443 code is for the evap system. nothing to do with your current issue.

  as far as the noise, get another opinion on the noise. could be a dust shield behind the rotors or any of a hundred other things. dont wait too long.

  I'm familiar with the steering gear mounting being an issue on these cars. The gear actually moves on the frame. Have that inspected for looseness.
