I have a 99 vert and here recentky it seems like when im making a right turn at slow speeds (in a parking lot for example) theres a continuous poppin noise coming from the front. im not sure what it is i havent had a chance to put it on a lift. just wondering if anyone has any ideas or things i should look at to see if its broke or not.

My car had the popping and creaking sound also but the popping stopped after I lowered it.I searched on the mach1registry for a popping sound and people say it could be the bearing in the C&C plates or sway bar bushings.

You could drop the sway bar and grease the bushing and also make sure the sway bar end link bolts are tight.

mine is lowered with eibach lowering springs no iso cups and i dont have any camber plates. so its either ball joints or some type of bearing.

I had it on another Mustang and it turned out to be bolts holding the rack to the K-member. I loosened them, cleaned them up, re-installed and tightened. Noise gone.

Good luck.
