    7g front end pops when torgue applied

    I've done searches on this topic sorry for bringing it back up. I have a 7g when i turn to the right and move off I hear a single pop, if I go in reverse it pops again. I inspected the suspension, my tie rods boot are gone and will have to be replaced. also the boot connecting steering rack to the tie rod is gone. Will replace those tomorrow. The lower control arm is in good shape and my cv joints are fine.

    Any ideas ?

    jack your car up and check for play in the wheel. if your bearings are fine, and you still have play, your ball joints could be worn even if the boots are fine.

    check every ball joint. Your tie rods are only a start. However, I can assure you that if your tie rods are original, they need to be replaced. Both inner and outer.

    check what stunr said to check and look at your motor mounts. check your brake pads to, sounds wierd but if they wear down enough the rotor can jam them part way out of the caliper.

    Check your control arm ball joints as well. If youre not sure what im talking about its the ball joints directly under your CV boot on the hub side. Also check all of your bushings they could be worn as well.
