That noise sounds like a bad endlink. When the SFBs go bad, you may get some
noise, but you can feel the subframe shift, especially if you have a rod
shifter.

You are due for new SFBs, unless you know if they were changed in the last
75K miles.

What is the way to check if the SFBs (originals) are in need of replacement?
I had the recall done several years ago, so the bolts should be OK. I do
hear a metallic creak/tap when a turn left only, thought it might be
subframe bushing-related. It might ultimately be a problem elsewhere, but I
wanted to rule out the SFBs. Thanks.
