front end noise

had a cluncking in the front end so i took it to the dealership and told them, they said they herd it and wanted me to come back.
so i went back and there working on it. i gave it to them at 1:30 yesterday and they said they have to keep it overnight so im kinda scared it's more then the tie-rod's. any help?

On mine they put sway bar bushings, and then tie rods did the trick.

Unfortunately the front suspension and steering system is the Achilles heal of this car. I get the impression you do not have an extended warranty. If you did, most repairs would be covered under the extended warranty. If the repairs are on your dime you want to hope they find and fix the problem on the first attempt and they don't get into the replace each component until they find the problem through the process of elimination.

Let us know what they find when you get your car back.
Here are some pics of the front suspension and steering. This might help when they start talking shop.

What do you mean "whatever they did"?
You could at least ask them exactly what they did and report the details here for the benefit of all.
