Lately here I've been noticing during slow turns with my wheel turned almost all the way either direction I get a quite audible metal popping sound coming from the front(almost sounds like the pop tabs on pickle jars just louder).


Any Idea what it could be, since it'll be a cpl weeks before I can get it to a dealership.Cars a 2001 with 45k on it.

 

Check youre lower control arm caster bolts on the rear of the control arms...they are the ones that point up. Last year i had this issue and it was those bolts that were corroded to the control arm bushing. Im pretty sure thats what youre problem is...ive also seen a couple at the dealership with this issue.

 

Also check the swaybar endlinks... Just pinpointed a rear poping noise on an s2k to one that needed replacing.

 

well, for me it was one of the subframe bolt.

i change my tierod ends before i found out it was the bolt, it was pretty tight but i guess it's not tight enough(it shifts when hard cornering)

i found out it was the bolt after i installed the x brace on my car
