02 vette problem help!!!!
Ok guys, I need your help. My Dads 02 vette is making a popping noise in the right front passenger side wheel area. It sounds like a bad ball joint but not as loud. It's very noticeable when he hits a bump or turns the steering wheel. So, 
he has checked the wheel bearing,ball joint,rack and pinion and other suspension parts. No luck!!!
Another helpful hint:It's noticeable when you shack the vehicle on the right front side wheel area. The tires were also balanced a week ago. this car has 20,000 miles on the clock. Please help.... *****:

Was the noise present before the tire balance? If not, it could be as simple as loose lug nuts. Otherwise, I've also seen loose/broken sway bar end links that sounded like you're describing. Good luck.

I also have a set of ramps if you need to get under it to look.
I think his problem is in the front area near his front wheel. could be a wheel.
