No I just found out that is my ball Joints. They are extremly dry and they pop a little when I turn but I didn't pay it no mind. And they are not taking oil, so I have to buy new ones. I got the parts from o'rallys. Thanks for your help tho I apprecaiate it. I'm trying to keep this car running as long as I can.

Did you try to replace the zerk fittings? If not, replace them and have someone turn the steering slightly when trying to grease them. They should take grease then. However, it they are worn out, then they need replaced regardless.
