sounds like a sway bar link wearing out

Got underneath it tonight. Noticed that the passenger side inner axle boot is badly torn, grease everywhere. Also appears that the passenger side ball joint is a little worn...I can wiggle the wheel just a slight bit whereas the drivers side wheel is completely tight. . Glad there is progress and i...

My pop got loud as my ball joints reached EOL

No on the MAF, especially a RA MAF. It will spit codes if it isn’t metering right

Pull a couple of plugs and look at the gap. If it’s over 030 they are worn out and you may have a funky misfiring plug at load. New set of Coppers, under $25

Check autohausaz, rmeuropean and FCPEuro.
Bosch is about $100.
