Front end popping creaking noises - FIXED

I pumped grease in the boot, it only made it go away for a little bit. I just ended up replacing the inner and outer tie rod ends and it's gone.
 






You can do that on tie rod ends but it's tougher to grease ball joints that way. Also, it's not fixing the worn balljoint, it only temporarily quiets it.
 






I agree about the worn joints.
I squirted in about 6 pumps of Mobil 1 lube using one of those small grease guns. I did the ball joints and tie rod ends. I wanted to get some grease in there and not swell the boots.
