Default Popping steering wheel


Every time I turn the wheel and especially at low speeds I hear a popping noise and feel it in the steering wheel. Any Ideas what it could be? It is an 03 Cobra with 36K miles. I need to have my rotors turned because I am also getting vibration in the steering wheel when I brake moderately hard. The previous owner said he changed out the front brakes. Think he did something wrong? Could the two problems be connected?

I have to get the problem solved it is driving me crazy.

My gets very jumpy when i brake hard too, but i only notice it when i'm braking hard at 100+mph. Someone said that my rotors must be a little bit warped and i only feel it at high speeds.

have you checked your power steering fluid? is it tough to turn the wheel at all?

No the wheel is easy to turn, but I will check my fluid to be sure.

It goes in spells. Some days it pops bad other days not at all. It does seem to pick up when I go over a speed bump. [&:] It sounds like something is loose and popping back and forth. I am supposed to take it in to the dealer Monday to get it checked out, so it prob won't be acting up when I take it in. I have to get it figured out within the next 4k miles or my warranty will be out. If I dont then the day my warranty goes out, my freakin' wheels will pop off or something.
