Jack up front end. Hold wheel at 9 and 3. if you have play in suspension while pushing back and forth, it has worn tie rod ends.Next, hold tire at 12 and 6.If you have play while wiggling it this way, your ball joints are probably worn. Hope this helps .

I was having a "popping" a while back when turning. The brackets on my exhuast system loosened up, and when turning the loop over the axel was making contact with the frame. Just fod for thouht to check out.

On my GT, I had more of a "clunking" sound under full turn left. It never happened turning right. I was the left side ball joint.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
