the noise from the front happins when i turn left or right i was told it could be the shocks but i changed them and it did not help it is a 2000 ford explorer sport two wheel drive? i dont think it has anything to do with with the steering cause it also makes the noise when im going straight and hit a bump.

    Sounds like an outer tie rod end might be dry - out of lube. Original tie rod ends are sealed for life and cannot be greased.

    Check here for a good description and images of an outer tie rod end:

    You could also have sway bar links that are noisy, ball joint looseness... Have the front end checked for your noise - steering and suspension.

    Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
