HELP!!! popping noises on right turns
its usually comming out of right turns, not so much going into them. oldsmobile said it was balljoints, other people said it was strut mounts/bearings. well, i figured i needed new struts anyways because ive been itching to install my eibach drop springs, so i got kyb struts and put them in today
well, the front struts/springs/mounts/balljoints are in. im doing the back tomorrow afterwork, but i took it for a spin. it still makes the popping noise on right turns.
the only things even left are drive axels or steering rack. how do i test so i replace the one that needs replacing? Is it possible to grease the rack? does it have zerks? because i know the problem went away for a month after i got a oilchange/front end grease
when its jacked up, i can grab the tire and turn them about 3/4" (as if i was turning the wheel to make a turn) but its not only loud pops, its somtimes soft multiple pops. ughh......
does look a little funny since ive got eibachs in the front, stocks in the back, but the eibachs will go in the back tomorrow.

our old van makes a noise whenever you turn the wheel alot due to a moving spring. All we need to replace is the rubber thing that holds it in place.
