Ok, to start out I have a 2001 Monte Carlo SS 3.8L Dale Earnhardt Edition. Recently I have replaced both of the CV Axels and also the driver side wheel bearing...<---broke, can only afford one side at a time...For some reason the car is still popping when I turn. Any help would be appreciated..

 

Did you put the axle all the way in? I did my axle last year and didn't put it all the way in like an idiot and it kept poping when I turn. Took me a while to figure it out

 

Try greasing your intermediate steering shaft, that could be what is making the popping noise that you are hearing

 

It's happened before, some new parts are not up to spec and may be faulty themselves. But as any mechanic back yard or pro would tell you put the old part back in...(NOT )

 

Did you instal the axle or some else did? Maybe a know it all like some "people"

 

Ok guys..be nice

 

All good, I'm not worried about people who like to talk crap over the internet...But I will check them out and see. A mechanic from a dealership was who put them in...

 

Hopefully you figure out what that popping is.

 

I would say take it back to your mechanic and have him inspect the car throughly, let him test drive the car his knowlage and expertise can be handy. what causes poping noise when turning could be many things really ( ball joints, CV axle, say bar links & power steering are the major ones that usually cause a pop like sound and feel)

A hub bearing doesnt Pop it hums/whines when it goes bad or breaks. Brakes vibrate, rack & pinion doesn't make any noises it just slowly kills the steering,

Maybe a brake pad was moved off of it's location? If all those check out good then I'm clueless to what it is with out driving the car.

 

This is Skull2004 and it was my sway bar and rack and pinion.
