Hi!

I could use a little guidance...

I have a 1997 civic DX and was having a problem with a drivers side popping noise when I would pull into a parking spots...

So it would be at low speeds and I would turn into a parking spot...pop pop...then straighten the wheel and I would hear just a pop. It wouldn't happen all the time just occasionally.

I did a little research and thought like many who post and get responses, it's gotta be the CV axle. I inspected the axle and indeed the boot was thrashed but had some grease left. I figured sweet, easy fix...

Replaced the axle and low and behold the popping is still there.

Trying to do a little more research now instead of just guessing...

So at an idle just sitting I turn the wheel back and forth all the way and I get the pop pop sound, I believe I have the noise dialed down to the driver side but I am stumped on what it is??? Ball joint...strut...tie rod end.

Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction...

Thanks so much in advance

 

Have someone else turn the wheel while you listen outside the car to find out exactly where the noise is coming from.
