My 99 Dodge Dakota 2wd makes clucking/poping sound when turning right and occasionally to the left. I've experienced the frontend vibrate slightly when traveling over 45mph. Steering wheel needs to been turned slightly at 10 degree to left to travel straight. What is the cost in repairing this issues?

you will need a replacement lock mechanism these vans had common problems with them and the dealer can key the new lock to your key please rate -jeff

SOURCE: Vibration and noise from front end while driving

Jack up the front end and put stands under it and block rear wheels. Look at axle boots and see if they are cracked. Try turning wheel back and forth sharply and see if you can hear any clicking. Problem could be outer axle joints. If the boots are cracked or you hear a clicking noise you will have to replace the axle. The axle and boot come as a complete unit. Please let me know what you find out.

HI. You power steering fluid level may be low at this point, a quick inspection of the fluid level, will be in order, if possible. Once you have verified that the fluid level is sufficient, move on to the actual power steering belt and unit. Make sure the belt is tight, and rotating the pulley. If the fluid level is low, be sure to fill to specifications.

Now, If the pulley and belt are rotating without a wobble, and the fluid level is sufficient, this will lead to a failed pump. The pump should be replaced in this case. Make sure you exhaust all inspections points mentioned before replacing the pump.

CHECK LIST

1. Check the power steering pump hoses for leaks
2. Check the power steering pump pulley for lose fit or wobble during rotation,
3. Check the power steering reservoir for proper level(add if needed)
4. Check the power steering drive belt for the proper tension.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the answer I was looking for. Low on fluid, now hoping it's not a leak."

SOURCE: steering wheel make a noise when turn left

its due to low/no fluid level in the power steering reservoir.Check the fluid in the power steering. If it is low the car will make noise when you turn the wheel. the internal parts gets rubbed hard and noise occurs. refill the fluid and let it reset for some time then try it will get the fluency to move smooth and noise will get stopped. -------- This will help.
