1995 LeSabre --snap,crunch pop sound when turning

[tonypuka]

My 1995 LeSabre has started to make a metal on metal like pop sound when I make a turn or go over a small bump, like entering my driveway, like when a spring cracks and when it compresses, it makes the pop,crunch, sound.
Steering wheel is steady,not solid, but does not shimmy while driving.
I wiggled my front tires from side to side , and they are solid.
Noise seems to be from drivers side front of the car.



Feedback appreciated
Thanks

Suspect upper strut mount as the most common area for this, check it out using a helper turning the wheel while you feel the spring or upper strut retaining nut.
