So today on my lunch at work, I went out for a drive and noticed that every time I turn left, I hear this weird popping sound coming from my tire. I checked it out, and it looks fine. It doesnt do it when I turn right, and the sound is always the same pitch and volume. My car was recently just lowered on Tein springs, so do you think something got messed up in the install thats causing it to do this?

 

Possibly your cv joint is bad. Happened to mine.

 

Could also be a loose strut top bolt.

 

sounds like damaged strut rubber.

 

Try and replicate the problem on jack stands dude.

 

also see if it tends to happen more when you turn right vs. turning left. more then likely both need replaced but if budget is tight and you can get it done under the shade tree focusing your time on one side for this month may stretch the budget a bit.

 

My right side did this for a little bit.. almost as if it would slip.. was my lower right control arm bearing.
