Front Suspension Noise Help
Hello,
I have a pop from my front suspension what to see if anyone else has had this problem and might know what it is.
For the details
- When ever i am turning sharp (into/out of a parking spot) going from left to right it will pop several times
- When ever i am driving and i take a left bend it will pop and then when i go around a right bend it will pop, but if i have 2 left bends in a row, the second bend i dont get a pop (almost like something is sliding)
- bumps is the road do not cause the pop. seems like it is turning
- except, when i am slowing down to come to a stop, just before the car stops i will get a pop.
- Have have had the car on a 2 post and 4 post lift and i dont see anything loose, dont see any witness marks, no play in the wheel bearings, or ball joints, checked the upper shock mount, they seem tight....
- Also, my alignment is spot on and not changing and steering is super tight.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Michael

Easy way to check, would be to remove the front sway bar and drive the car. If the noise is gone, it's end links. Do a visual on the leveling pad thickness, which should be roughly an inch thick.

The sway bar can also shift to one side, causing to to make contact with lower control arm. You should check the three wheel bearing torx bolts on each side(back side of spindle), the upper and lower ball joint nuts, and the caliper bolts.
