Ok, whenever i turn my steering wheel to either side it makes loud popping noises and wants to jerk back to straight, it sounds like its coming from the steering column... but this happens once in a while, not every time. but when it does happen, if i just play with it for a while the noise will go away and the car will drive normal. also when i make turns while rolling it slightly pops from what sounds like the steering column... it doesnt sounds like its coming from the engine bay... anybody know whats wrong?

thanks for your help guys.

 

Your cv joints are bad on the ends of your axle. You can go to autozone and lifetime replacment axles fairly cheap and hey they have a lifetime warranty.

 

you think there could be anything else wrong with it? many people are telling me that its something in the steering column, and taht it could be the half shaft

 

could be a hub bearing

 

sounds like cv joints to me

 

is it clicking than its probally your cv

 

well, it sounds more like a popping noise, from like the steering column... only happens sometimes when turning...

bump for more help!

 

the steering wheel acts as an amplifier some times...

check:
CV joints
ball joints
tie rod ends
rack
loose bolt(s)
bad bushing in suspension
loose tire/rim

Exactly, could be any of the above and we couldn't tell you unless we heard the noise our selves, so get to looking my friend, have you installed any suspension stuff lately? Also get under the car and inspect the cv joints, do work son.
