Popping noise coming from front of car
I get this popping noise from the front of my car when going over bumps in the road and sometimes when turning. I think it might be suspension related but i'm not sure
Any ideas on what it could be and around how much am I looking to spend if something has to be replaced?

I also am getting this popping noise from the front wheel area especially when turning. Could this be a bad ball joint or perhaps tie rod?

Inspect the outer tie rod ends. I changed both of mine and i still have the pop. Ive heard it was a special bearing in the steering shaft.. thread by me somewhere. All 4 balljoints/bushings replaced soon.

I checked them and Im pretty sure theyre ok. But when it popped 2 days ago my steering wheel turned so its not centered any more. I did an alignment and made sure everythng was tight before that pop happened. IM hoping nothing is wrong with the rack itself. I have an idea that my problem could be the bolts on the bottom of the control arm could be messed up. Could that cause the steering wheel to shift?

if the adjustment bolts came loose, the lower control arm would move and cause the steering wheel to change position.

Ok i think thats what happened. Do u know what they should be torqued to? And if i needed new bolts how much those cost?

i just make them really tight. if they did move, you will need to have an alignment done anyway. you won't need new bolts.

I recently I had an alignment done and I still had the popping noise afterwards...weird thing is though that when I was on my way home a few days ago I hit a bump in the road at a pretty good speed and haven't heard the popping since.

I had the bracket for the front sway bar break and it made a popping noise as well.

ok got my alignment done and one of the bolts on my control arm has a pin to lock it and this pin was not in the hole so the bolt kept coming loose. So far no problems thanks for the help
