Tie rod end? Well, the streets were pretty clear tonight, so I got the Camaro out to go for a little ride. Lately, I've been hearing a little pop whenever I'd hit a bump, coming from the front passenger side of the car. Well, it was about 10x worse tonight. And, whenever I took it up to highway speeds, there was a vibration. And it'd get louder, and vibrate more whenever I'd let off the gas, and just coast. My buddy and I were thinking it could possibly be a tie rod end, but I was just wondering what other thoughts you guys would have.

I didn't pay that close of attention. I just noticed it whenever I'd let off the gas at around 55-60. If I gave it some gas, it wouldn't vibrate as much though, and wouldn't make the sound either.

Well, I found that the vibration was just from a bunch of ice that was lodged in the front wheels, from busting through a big drift on my road, on my way into town the other night. It froze while it was sitting in my grandparents' garage, and caused the vibration when I got it out the other night. I took a pressure washer to it, and blew the ice out of there, and no more vibration. I've still got the little poping noise though, when I hit a bump. I've had that for a while now though. It also happens when I'm at a dead stop, and take off with the wheels turned to the right, sometimes. Any ideas?
