I replaced both upper and lower control arms, Sway bar end links, Rear strut rod bushing on my 1998 Mark VIII base and now have a noise that is bothering me.
Sometimes, when turning the steering wheel from hard Right all the way to the left, I will hear a pop noise from the drivers side. The best way I can describe the noise is almost like the ball joint is popping out of the member, and then dropping back into place.
I have checked everything and it all looks good. I think I am just overlooking something simple.
I would like to add that this is the SECOND time I did the work on the drivers side. About 2 months after doing it all the first time, the lower ball joint sheared off, and I had to replace the upper and lower control arms again, as well as the drivers airbag (Thanks Mad1stGen).
I want to rule out future issues and hoping someone can offer some advice. I did a search, and the things I found, nothing seems to help.
The noise is random, but so far it has only happened when turning from full right back to the full left. Never from left to right. And seems to be coming from drivers side.
I am hoping I just over looked something small when I installed all of this. Don't want to go through the broken ball joint thing all over again. :frown:
