Default Right side popping/clicking noise. Also steering shake at 60mph+

When I turn left it starts making that sound and the other day when I turned right it did the same thing. About a month ago, when I installed my springs I replaced both axles, but it still does it. Also when my car get over 60mph the steering wheels begins to shake rapidly expecially when i get to around 80mph. I think it may be a brake rotor, but not for sure......Any help?

you should replace at least the axle thats causing the shake, but hey why not do both while your doing it.

If you got new axles, chances are it's a wheel bearing.

I think I'll steer this question in a different direction....most people on H-T are content to 'replace' a part by buying someone else's used stuff. Are those axles new?

I know that this is gonna sound stupid, but check your lug nuts. Sometimes its easy to forget to tighten them when you bring the car down off of jackstands. Ive made this mistake before and it made the exact same sound in the exact same conditions that you are describing.

I've already replaced both axles. The next thing I am going to replace are my front disc rotors and check to see if it will change. I think its gonna have a warped rotor. When I find out I'll post...

Jack you car up and see shake the will from top to bottom.A warped rotor wouldn't shake that bad unless your on the brakes.I'm thinking maybe a wheel bearing.

My car just starting doing this too. Whenever I make a left turn I hear a loud popping noise up near my right front tire. I thought it might have been my shock not decompressing right, but my cousin suggested it might be a wheel bearing. I don't know how hard they are to fix yourself.

What kind of axles did you replace it with? Sometimes the auto stores (well a lot of times) have bad axles that will vibrate. I doubt it is the rotors but more than likely a tire out of balance or a bad axle.
