popping sound
When I make a hard right, as the car starts to push it makes a popping sound as if the tire is skipping instead of sliding. EVERY part in the front suspension is new and Im on ksport coils. Any ideas? Will be getting under her this weekend to see if anything may be loose.
Thanks

get an alignment after you install the new ksport coils?

Ball joint?

Put the car off the air and wiggle the front tires.

You must be going into the corner way to fast if your front end is sliding or skipping. It might be the same concept as wheel hop. You take too much speed into a corner amd your front end is freaking out... Now does it pop when your accelerating out of a corner or when you come into it whel braking or is this just on the street? Need more info.


Could just be bad axle. Are the axles new?

The car has been aligned several times since. both axles are new along with tie rods and a complete set of control arms and sway bar end links

And it does it when turning off a main road at about 20 so it's not that I'm going to fast.

Ive gotten bad struts brand new before. But im guessing you know what a bad strut sounds like then it's not the same pop... I would make sure everything it tight... Im trying to think about what could be making that type of noise being that everything is new.

That's what I'm saying man. I just need to get it up and go over everything again. It's almost as if the wheel itself is loose kind of noise.

Bearing???

Edit... How low are you on those ksprts... Could you be rubbing on something?
