One problem down, one to go!

Alright so I have fixed the problem with the knock sound (CV axle), and I have one more to go. While driving I can sometimes feel a slight pop or knock in my steering usually going around corners. My bushings and controls arms all look good, so what could it be? Struts maybe? Any insight would be great. Thanks..

Have you inspected the outer tie rod ends?

Re: One problem down, one to go!

When we switched out the CV axles everything was pretty well inspected. I would like to add that while driving the wheel seems very bumpy even on newly paved roads. I had them rotated and balanced and it is still the same.

Re: One problem down, one to go!

I would have the steering column intermediate shaft checked. They cause a clunk in the steering wheel when turning and are a common issue.

Re: One problem down, one to go!

It seems like I can feel the pop more so when I am accelerating through a curve. It doesn't matter which way I turn the wheel. And the knocking noise that I thought was gone when I accelerate isn't completely gone, it's just not as bad.
