I recently replaced my work out control arms with the Integra pieces. When I turn left now I get a clicking along with the steering wheel jerking. I am thinking tie rod ends? Anything else I shoud look at? Also if it is my tie rod ends shoudl I replace them with 1g crx pieces or the integra ones?

A jerking steering wheel almost sounds like a bent axle, as well as the clicking you would hear around corners, though that would be a worn outer joint rather than a bent axle.

If you are replacing your tie rods it would be better to go with integra.

Also, check your lower ball joint on the control arm to see if it is worn out, but i'm guessing you probably already did as you replaced them.... however see if there is any play up and down by prying the wheel away from the ground, its possible there is play in the steering knuckle socket.

Cheers,

Axle problem. No biggie, though the process of replacing it sucks. Buy one from Autozone or somewhere that comes with a lifetime warranty. That way when the boot rips again and the joint is cheesed in a year and a half you can take it back for a free one. Don't forget to drain the trans or put fresh and correct lubricant in it when you put it back.
