car is making lots of funny sounds when turning
First of all my car seems to be falling apart. My latest problem is with turning. When ever I go to make a turn, especially under lower speeds I hear lots of strange sounds coming from under my car. The best way to explain them are popping sounds and straining sounds, if that makes any sense.
I'm sure it has something to do with my steering rack upfront but I'm not sure where to start looking or how to even fix it.
Maybe someone with this problem knows the best way to get it back to making no noises when turning.

It makes the sounds regardless of which way I turn. First thing I did was check my power steering. The fluid level is full and it never feels like it goes out. I just had a wheel hub replaced on the passenger side so I'm not sure if that's it.
Balljoints seem like a good place to start. Is there a good guide to that assembly anywhere?

mine does the exact same thing ... and my car feels like it is falling apart also. Im guessing it is the wheel bearings or something to do with that general area. It pops when making a right hand turn and accellerate a bit. and also when the car isnt accellerating or if i let off the gas and let it roll , i get a wo-wo-wo-wo sound, as if i have a flat spot in the tire but there isnt one. Im interested aswell for fixes for these problems.

There is no way that a perfrctly fuctioning car could pop and make noises like these. I was just trying to gain ideas and assumptions before i actually went into looking for the problem, mainly to get a basic idea of what could go wrong with the car. It just rolled 94,000 miles, so im not completely upset that some things may need to be replaced.
