I changed the outer passenger tierod it was shot. When i hit a bumb in the road i still get a noise that doesnt sound good. The noise sees ore towrds the center of the van. Since i did the outer rod myself I know it not perfect alignment cause the steering wheel jiggles alittle, but the sound is not good.

Inner tie rod ends and struts will make the sounds of an old coffee percolator perking away as you ride over bumps. Have the front end inspected at a tire or alignment shop, most will inspect it for free.
