Pontiac Repair: 97 Pontiac Grand Am GT, 3.1 V6, grand am gt, dealership technicians


Question
I have a "pop" in the front end of my car when I turn either direction. It is a single pop sometimes on just one side or the other, sometimes it's on both sides. It only does this while turning and like I said before it only does the pop once per episode.  I have already replaced both strut mounts, struts, and tie rod ends. The passenger side cv has also been replaced. I'm at a loss and don't want to spend $100.00 per hour to have the dealership put the electronic ears on it to find it. Please help!

Answer
Could be a stabilizer bar bushing, loose body mount, loose or worn steering rack mount, or posibly a worn ball joint.
It would have been cheaper to spend the $100 to have it diagnosed than to replace all of the things you did that didn't fix it. Usually, dealership technicians like myself, will find the problem in less than one hour and could have saved you hundreds of wasted dollars on uneeded repairs.
