POP in Steering

00GTstang · July 10th, 2007, 10:07 PM

So I was drivin around last night and noticed something. Whenever I turn to the right (and mainly when I am sitting still) I hear a pop come from the front. And it is only when I am turning to the right. Is this what the PS rack does when it is going out? If so how much of a pain in the A** is it to replace that?? If not the rack what else could it be??

Check your ball joints man... They make a popping noise you can feel in the car. Is it more from one side then the othe?

i had a prolem like that, and it was the p/s rack bushings. i have heard that lower cars will have a tendency to wear them out faster.

Yea I can feel it and hear it 90% of the time when I turn the wheel right and it is more pronounced when I am not moving.

Cool thanks I will check them out. Is that something I can just tighten up my self or is it more involved then that?? Is there a chance that those will break if I drive to much on them???
