Ok, my car has allways hoped and skipped alitle when I turn it tight. Especially on pavement, sometimes it can even slide the tires. The thing is, I just put new shocks and struts on my car and now, most of the time. I get this popping sound that I can hear, and feel through the car. I mean, sometims it's pretty violent. The car needs an alignment, but will this fix my problem?

Get the alignment and go from there it could be a bad ball joint or even a loose k memeber bolt or two ..

Or bad upper strut mount bushing.

Yeah, I figured those were bad when I changed the struts. Couldent find anyone that sold them besides a dealer, and didnt have the money anyways, so I just changed the struts only. I guess the reason that would have never made noise before, is because the old struts were so shot that when I took the upper mount nuts off, the shafts just slid down inside the strut bodies.


But an allignment is a must do anyways, I'll update when that takes place.

Thanks,

It would be an oddity on a V6 car, but do you have posi? Mine pops going through tight turns but it's from the rear and there's no mistaking it!

is it your front end? because mine did that too. itd slide the front tires kinda like u were saying too. my problem (along with bad allignment) was a bent ti rod end. check it out and besure thats not it. i came close to snapping mine. my car was in an accedent before i got it and the guys at the body shop skipped over it.

mine "popped" through turns (like a u-turn, not a fast tight turn).... and it was the tie-rod ends...
