Re: Front end "Pop"
While it is true that worn bushings, ball joints or tie rod ends can cause "pop" or "creaking" noises when driving at slow speeds and the steering is at or near full lock, you, also, need to look past those problems.
1) Make sure the bolts holding the two supports that run between the frame and the front crossmember are tightened to specification.
2) Make sure the bolts holding the two supports which run from the hood latch mounts down to the frame rails are tight.
3) Make sure the steering rack mounts are tight.
4) Make sure the control arm shaft mounting bolts are tight.
