Unhappy Equinox front end noise??

I've got around 6K on my Equinox and started to notice a "pop" sound. This occurred at slow speeds 10-15MPH while jerking the wheel to the right. Over the past couple of weeks the sound has got worst, and now makes the noise over rough road. I was thinking maybe the struts were defective. But after reading some post here it could be the ball joints don't have any grease it them?
Just wanted to get your guys thoughts and feeling before I walk in for some warranty work.
Thanks,Kitchen

Cool

Finally going to get my Nox in the shop to get the front end noise looked at. I'm dropping it off later in the week, I'll let you all know the outcome. I guess I'm the only one this has happened to??
P.S. No more whinning about SmartBuy or Whinning about how you think the Equinox and GM are junk. Go to another forum.

Chevy has issued a service bulletin on this “popping sound” My local Chevy dealer has ordered me two new front struts and a new torsion bar with new bushings. This should resolve my problem. I'm getting the parts put on next week.
