Re: popping sound

Check your struts. Also check your ball joints. If they start getting bad they can catch and make a popping noise. In my experience bad ball joints also cause the car to wander on the road

Re: popping sound

My advice would be checking your control arm bushings and swaybar links, then strut mounts.

Re: popping sound

I had a popping noise when I was turning. Sounded like it was coming from the driver's/left side of the car. The noise was coming from the steering gearbox. Sounds to me like it's time for the rack and pinion conversion!
