Steering Popping/Wandering
I have a 01 SS and everytime I hit the break hard or turn the steering fast I hear this loud popping/clicking sound(not to worried about brake though)...Also the ride doesnt feel the way it used to on the highway it tends to sway alot!!
..I think this happened because I hit a curb to hard a while back??...I looked under and everthing looked fine..(my steering wheel is pretty off center though)
But What do You guys think i should check and how to do it thanks...

Get your car on jacks or a lift and check the tie rods. You can grab the wheel at the 3 and 9 position and the wheel should have no play in it.
When my tie rods wore out I could hear popping when turning at low speeds and the car would sway left to right on the freeway.
