something is popping on my front wheel
It has done this a couple of times and its only when im going slow and making a u turn, or a sharp cut. It sounds like the tie rod end is binding. Anyone else have this prob.

try greasing your steering stops first,
also look at your lower control arm bolts
for signs of movement.
