Default Popping Sound

Hi everyone. I traded up my V-6 for a 2005 low mileage Lime GT manual tranny car. I love it!!! But I have one question. When I turn the car left or right there is a popping sound from the front end. I know there is a TSB about this. But without being able to read this TSB, is that popping sound a serious problem? I'm surprised the previous owner didn't take the car in for this. Go figure. Anyway, is this sound an annoyance or a real danger?

Maybe that's why they traded it in.. [:@]

I think the TSB is more for a noise when rolling over bumps at low speed.

too much weight on the front end ? Better trade that V8 back for a 6.

If it's a real danger, it wouldn't be a TSB but a recall.
Good luck with your new car!

You need a bucket of steam and a left handed pipe wrench to fix that one!
