Pop/clunk sound- front brakes on turns?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Love my new, low miles 98 Pathfinder, ( got it only 65K miles for $8,000), but after I drove off the lot, I noticed a noise and feeling it makes only when braking with the wheels turned. When pulling in to parking space, or backing out, I feel and hear a kind of joint-popping/clunk sound form the front end. It only does it once. It won't do it again unless I straighten the wheel and move the car...then I can recreate the lound pop/clunk sound on a new turn. It will do it in reverse as well. Only when the wheels are turned. I'm not a mechanic, so please speak in lamen (lame men?) terms.

Any ideas what this is before I go back to the dealer? Repair advice?
(I did purchase a bumper to bumper with and $100 deductible).

Thanks
Mike

Hey Maverick, I got the problem taken care of my having the breaks and rotars replaced because part of the problem was a caliper sticking. I'll check out the site you sent. Thanks
