sounds like you need a new axle or to rebuild it.

 

well i dont need to rebuild it, and the popping doesnt feel like, or sound like its cv joints im not too sure about it...

 

sometimes the springs will move in their perches when you turn the wheel. not a pop more of quick "dong"

 

so wat does that mean? it it harmful? how can it be fixed?

it just means that the spring is moving in its perch, its not gonna pop out or anything, its just pretty much annoying. as for a fix im not real sure, the one on my wifes car doesnt do it all the time so she has complained to me about it yet, if she does, i'll let you know what i did to fix it

 

do you have aftermarket suspension?

My Tein Type Flex suspension was doing the same thing a few months ago ... the passenger side front spring perch became loose and the spring was able to move around a little bit ... only made popping noises at very low speeds with a lot of steering input.

If you have an adjustable suspension ... I would check the perch and see if it is loose ... if so ... just tighten it down and you'll be good to go.

 

I had a similar problem coming from my front suspension and it was making a popping noise..i fixed this noise by tightening down one of my endlink bolts on my front lower sway bar...this bolt was already pretty tight but i guess these have to be tourqed down. i only got about a quarter of a turn out of it but it was enough to stop the popping...hope this helps....

 

you can try greasing up in between where the top hat meets the bearing plate. it worked for me

 

suspension is stock but ill try all those things that u guys posted, thank guys i appreciate this a lot!!!

i just had this done, i ran over something on the highway though, i had a poping noise bc my strut was bent and when i would turn the wheel the poping noice was the spring repositioning itself bc it wasnt able to turn cleanly from the bent strut

 

Well my 05 EP is stock and when I put on some Tein Basic's awhile back i got some poppin sound in the front at low speeds. I thought it was my (Steering Rack)
but when I put my car back on stock suspension...it's gone.

Might want to check that out.Goog Luck
