My car makes a popping noise when I steer all the way, im guessing it is a ball joint or something, should I buy this?http://www.pdm-racing.com/prod....html

Where is the best place to buy this from?? I would prefer to buy it somewhere else since this PDM racing is goes by canadian dollars..

Thanks

just had the same thing happen to a friend and ive been repairing his car since last week. (retard boosted through a turn and ran into a curb, lack of drift control and stupid moves.....) if you where rich id say go for the up grade with the poly bushing in it.... or you could go to the local parts store and pick up a ball joint and get a lil greasy with your car..... rough estimate with time and money is about 30 smackaroo's and bout 1 1/2hr.s work time. not hard just time consuming. good luck with it.

I had this problem, check to see which side the noise is coming from. then crank the wheel over so you can get a beter look. have someone turn the wheel while you look at the strut, if you see it jump when you hear the sound, it is a broken strut. (spring)

If you have a noise in your front end, don't just assume. There's many parts that can be making a 'popping' noise. It could be a broken spring, dry stopper (if there is one on the 240, not sure). Be sure before you replace.
