Default Getting a pop sound when turning and braking on driver side front wheel?
I want to say its the balljoint. I just replaced both about 6 months ago.. I'm thinking i may have a bad one. I can here it sometimes when i brake but most of the time when i turn the wheels.. Its coming from the driverside.. Can anyone confirm this? thanks

Have your brake fitting kit checked. Your pads maybe shifting around.

Thanks Henry... Yea don't remember hearing this noise when i first installed the ball joints.. I was thinking it may be brakes but wasn't sure.. I will poke around this week..

How do i fix the problem? Buy a new fitting kit? from Sewell's or something?

Thanks

Yup. A new fitting kit from Sewell. It should be about $30-40.
