THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

Ok, now that I have gotten that out I'll explain the situation. Whenever I go over uneven pavement (ie. Going over a small curb to go up a driveway, pulling out of a parking lot with a slight decline leading to the road) and I'm turning RIGHT, I have a pop/click noise that sounds like it is coming from the front right of the car. I'm not sure what to check and can't always replicate the noise when I'm trying to show people. It only happens if I am going down a slight incline or decline and turning.

It also dosen't happen when I turn left, only right.

Any ideas?

i have been having the same problem... i cant figure it out..

 

cv-joint maybe? Have you checked for play in the wheel, and the cv boots for tears or damage?

 

Check the alignment holes on the spring perches. If they are off, then it will do exactly what you have been hearing/feeling.

 

how long have you had the tanabes? if the issue started AFTER it was installed, it could be you didnt seat the springs snug with the rubber isolator thing (sory forgot official name of that) on the bottom.

after my buddy got into an accident back in the day, he had this same issue after shop rebuilt it(carelessly)... ill ask him.

 

Rubber perch mounts are also often overlooked or just slightly off. Overtime they could pop into place or more out of place. Another good place to look.

 

Awesome thanks guys I'll check these things out next time I can get under my car.
