Stop in for a cup of coffee
Got nissan wheel bearing replaced. Found a loose tie rod end.
Turns out it needed 2 wheel bearings.
Buddy has same buggy, horrible creaking noise, seems like its the struts. And during wheel rotation one stud spun. Had to drill it. Then hunted for a replacement stud- DUH! I had 6 in the hub i just pulled out. We are both learning about these rigs together. Bonus, i have a slave. I mean helper.
