Default Snap, Crackle, Pop in Front End while Braking

Hi All,

Any one heard of this: During low speed parking manuvers with the steering wheel at extreme angles, car exhibits a snapping noise from the front end on both sides while braking. Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Tom

mademedoit is right. I would suspect ball joints as well. I would not put off having this taken care of. Failures can be sudden and dramatic.
