a nose in the front end
i got a bang and a pop when i turn. it does it when i turn in driveways and make a left and right turns. it sound like it comeing right from the right front wheel. the upper and lower control bushing looks good and it got heated springs in it. could that do it thanks

Re: a nose in the front end
i dont know if this could be the culprit or not but years back i had a truck where the spring would kinda move a bit and would make a loud noise like that..apparently there was some thin rubber piece that would sit between the control arm and spring or the spring and frame and that wore out which allowed the noise to occur...
If the spring itself looks good and the control arm bushings look good, then id say that is as good a guess as any are you sure the motor mount is good and tight?or not broken?and the motor is not slamming down? |

check your ball joints and the u bolts that hold your lower a arms

Re: a nose in the front end
Is all of your linkage in good shape? I have had a worn out pittman arm pop.

Re: a nose in the front end
I'm gonna agree with Bob and say that you have a spring that isn't flexing right or that isn't seated properly. The springs can move inside the pockets, and I've seen this cause a pop just like you're talking about.

Re: a nose in the front end
I had an 85 that started making that type of noise . I found a small rock had gotten down in the spring pocket of the lower control arm and was causing the spring to move around . Popped it out with a small pry bar . No more noise . Frank

Re: a nose in the front end
My friend had a Merceds that did that, mostly in fast sweeping corners.
during the suspension rebuild, I found a quite bent 12MM wrench lodged in the A arm where it would pluck the spring as a coil went by. Sounded like death, but there was no lasting effect on the car. |
Re: a nose in the front end
the springs has been heated to lower it iam hoping that what it is

Re: a nose in the front end
Try dabbing some grease on your steering stops. (LCA and Knuckle)You will probably see some indication of contact.
