Re: poping noise while turning

Is it a single pop or when rolling does it keep popping when turning?

If a single pop, check the steering linkage, if it's going pop pop pop when turning check your wheel ebarings and wheel studs, siometimes a loose lug nut can cause that too.

Welcome to TGO. A search always provides a wealth of info. Balljoint perhaps.

Re: poping noise while turning

My '99 S-10 was making that yype of noise back in November. when I had to replace my rotors I found the cause (at this time it wasn't making noise.) The right upper control arm bushings were worn. The firewall bushing was the one making the noise there was a washer missing that goes on before the bushing probably cracked and broke off. Unfortunately they're not included with the bushings they only comes in a control arm repair kit. The truck will have to wait till I have time to go to A pull-A-Part salvage.
