You may have a bad axle.

 

thats what i was kind of thanking. and thanks btw for changing that for me. wont happen again

 

Check your ball joints along with the axles. Ball joints should have no more than a nickle's thickness worth of play in them. The proper way to check them is to lift the car slightly off the ground, put a pry bar between the ground and the tire, and pull up on the tire. If it is your ball joints, fix them before you drive the car again, if a ball joint goes out, you will crash. How do I know? Seen it happen in person.

 

They shouldn't have any play in them. Period.

 

Zero play is considered optimum, but the thickness of a nickle is considered acceptable. If that's not the case then ASE needs to edit their test answers.

 

Check your ball joints. I have a 92 civic hatch and mine was doing the same exact thing but it was when I turned the wheel to the right. I changed the ball joint and it fixed the poping problem its worth a shot.

 

Some makes (Ford comes to mind) allow for a small amount of play. But a Honda balljoint should have none.

 

same thing happened to me, it actually turned our to be a bad bushing in the front lower control arm, went and bought the energy ones and it fixed it

 

Ase is talking about gm truck specs,
