Odd knock sound.
Ok I have an 09 SES sedan and whenever I jiggle the steering wheel while the wheels are straight, I hear this weird knock sound. It sounds like its coming from my front right wheel/suspension area. And it mostly happens while in park. I'm lost, I was thinking tie rod? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! EDIT: its coming from the front left

It is your swap bar endlinks, has been a known problem. Take it to the dealer and they will inspect/replace if necessary.

I think he meant sway bar end links.

No. Either you need new end links or to simply tighten the links you already have.

It's always the passenger side one isn't it..?
My car is an 09 and has 48600 miles on it I'm on my 4th set of front sway bar endlinks. Stock, MOOG, MOOG, and DominantEng. Let's hope the dominant ones will be my last set. lol
