Loud Front Suspension Pop
I've read a few things around here and checked the things I no to no avail. Going to try and get the suspension inspected but even then what I am told might not be the fix so looking to get some more opinions.
When the car is on the ground full weight on the suspension and I turn the front wheels left or right about 1 1/2 turns I get a loud pop. The wheels can physically be seen jolting. Pop happens at the exact same spot everytime. When driving no issues ever no thuds over bumps, no pops when rolling.
Jacked the car up in the air and checked to see if the ball joints / tie rod ends might have play in them. Was unable to locate any play or issues. Everything seems tight. Had my dad help me with a crow bar to confirm this.
What else should I be looking at? More than happy to replace a bunch of parts since the car has 130k+ miles on it but don't want to lower the jack and have it just do the same thing again. Front struts have.. 40k ish miles on them. Everything else is a mystery if the previous owner replaced them or not.
