Pop?

Post by Corsabphil »

For some reason when i turn right or the left wheel comes off a curb the car makes a loud pop. it sounds like the ball joint but it has only been happening since i had my driveshaft repaired and had brand new ball joints put on. my dad said he thinks it is the suspension. so any ideas?

jack up the car and pull on the wheel side to side and up and down and see if there is any play, if there is look to see which part is moving and you will find the fault. also make sure the hub nut is tightened to the correct torque setting.

if there isnt any play bounce on the suspension a few times and see if you can hear it then. my girlfriend had a similar problem on her 106 and it was the o/s/f strut bearings.
Drive it like you stole it
