click on this to make it bigger, then this is the tie rods for steering. Make sure they all are intact and tight, no parts missing etc.

Probably looking at Ball Joints and Control Arm bushings too as old as it is. Tie Rods Ends do make more sense for obvious noises though. If you do a little calling around, many Alignment shops will evaluate your front end for free. 1/2 hour Labor at the most. Don't let it go...it will only get worse (and perhaps dangerous) over time.

My 94 dodge ram 1500, 5.2L, runs okay but began using lot of fuel. Had trouble codes 37, 32, and 51. Cleaned throttle body and checked for vaccum leaks or bad hoses. Code 32 gone away. Cleared code 51 which according to Haynes manual is not supposed to make the check engine light come on. Their is no code 37 in the Haynes manual for a gasoline engine on the 94 Ram. Their is for diesel engine. What is it, where is it at and how do I correct the problem. 51 I know is the O2 sensor. Truck runs great, shifts fine , but is still using more fuel than normal. Been reading about code 37 and transmissions, don't think my problem is there. Any help ? 5 Answers

Cannot get the Code 37 to clear, can disconnect the battery and the code 51 clears, The code 32 has not come back but 51 comes back. 37 does not go away. Engine light will not come on after starting...
