Default Need help, poping sound in front right of car

My problem is when ever i turn the wheel all the way left like when pulling into a parking spot or something there is a poping sound in the front right side of my car. My car is lowered with sportlines and kyb shocks and struts and steeda camber/caster plates just to let you know, It is only on the right front what do you think it could be. Thanks for all help

Could be your rim hitting the control arm... Feel the edge of the rim for scaring... Also NEVER turn the wheel to the EXTREME left or right. It put too much pressure on the power steering pump. (if you here the whine, you went too far). Also another possibility is it could be your lower ball joint on that side...

THere is nothing on the inside of the rim, I have stock wheels and 245s on the front for now, it only does it on that side if i turn to the right the left side does not do it, if i get the x2 ball joints will that fix it.Or what else do you think

JAck up your car from under the lower control arm, pull and yank on the wheel from the bottom and check for play... Also look for signs of wearing, torn boots, or rust from the lower B/J.....

When you lift your wheel you should also be checking for any play in the steering geometry, bearings too

My suspension is stock and it does the same thing. I can feel it through the wheel and everything. Last time I posted about it everyone said it's normal on the new edge stangs. Still doesn't feel right to me...
