When I turn my steerig wheel right/left I hear a cracking sound coming from the left front wheel.

What can it be?

Help plsss!!!!!!

 

possibly something with the axle?

 

I don't think so, because it does it when the car is still too

 

if you are lowered and no camber kit.

it is the wheel bearing, change it, before it deforms the front knuckle.

 

ok, thx!

 

But can a bearing have a cracking sound like when you open an old door?

This wasn't a symptom in your OP, so to us it is a new symptom. I would lube the door hinges and see if it still makes the noise. Then, back to the big issue- what could possibly be your front wheel bearing.

 

It's more like the axle is going bad. Park the caR with the key in the "on" position so that you don't lock up the steering wheel. Have someone turn the steering clock to clock with you under neath the caR. You should be able to tell where the cracking noise come from.

Do you mean a creaking noise? Could be a balljoint. You may need to pick up a mechanic's stethoscope and check for the source of the noise in different spots while someone else works the wheel back and forth.

 

ok, thx.
