    When I make right hand turns I get a sound that is like a pop. Sometimes it doesnt happen but for the most it does. It only started as of a few months ago. Sometimes there are multiple pops. This is only when right turns are made. Any thoughts? The sound is hard to explain and pop was the best I could think of but its something to that effect. Thanks

    The sound is from the right rear. I never thought about that one.

    Check your steering linkage. Sit under the car while someone turns and make sure none of the joints are making the noise

    If its in the rear,check your floor pan shock mounts...they like to break loose.If its up front it could be a ball joint or bad strut rod bushing,or a bad sway bar frame mount bushing.

    My thoughts exactly. This happened to me once as well - made a quite a loud pop at times.
