Is this the reason why when I make right turns I hear a popping noise?

Also found this..

Is this stuff fairly easy to replace or should I just take it somewhere that they have air tools?

Also, anything else that should be replaced while down there?

ive seen tie rod end boots ripped but they still were pretty tight, easy to change but req alignment unless your really good at eyeballing the new/vs old length differences

the sway bar broken end could be the popping noise but its likely its the missing bushings on the end link...though thats probably what saved it from snapping the bar apart

My car had a cashed tie rod end that made nasty noises when turning. I replaced both with moog tie rod ends from advanced for $34 each with the promo code that's good til the 29th and now it's quiet and smooth. Jack the car up, take the wheels off and move the knuckle side to side. Mine looked fine but had a scary amount of play to it.

you can if you want.. but if they aren't broken, i wouldn't bother. the tie-rod ends spin on and off pretty easy. just mark where the old one was for alignment purposes. get greasable ones and a cheap grease gun and add a little grease every second oil change, they'll last a lot longer.
