vibration turning left ONLY
I am trying to trouble shoot a issue... cant seem to figure it out.
ok so i have 91k miles on my chassis my current mods are coilovers, sway bars, end links, strut bars.
one day i was taking a hard left and i heard a pop after that vibrations turning left where felt.. i checked everything for loose parts/ bent but nothing, i have checked the brackets for the sway bars and still nothing.
I am beginning to think its either a axle, or bearing that is bad but the bearing dont make any noise. any ideas my friends????

Jack the car up, pull front in and out on each wheel, if there is play you having bearing issues. I suggest loosening the sway bar end links and then drive around and see if you hear anything. They could be binding. Does it sound like the front or the rear? It could be bad bushing but I don't think a popping sound is a symptom of a bad bushing.

Ive checked the tire for play or movement and nothing.. I will have to try loosening the sway bar end links. it sounds towards the rear end of the car. if the car. Tomorrow i will see about removing the coilovers and inspecting that they are tightened down.

Find yourself a parking lot with enough room to turn left fully from a dead stop.
Come to a stop and turn the wheel all the way to the left and start moving. Slowly. If you can open your door and watch the left rear wheel while your turning. BE CAREFUL.
Let me know how it sounds, feels and looks.

I'm trying to help someone troubleshoot a turning vibration issue and wondering where you were going with this?
I know this post is old, but hopefully you will see it.
