Default HELP! Thump sound when turning left...

Since yesterday every time I make a left turn with the wheels turn full I hear a thumping sound coming from my right front suspension.

Its kind of a "pop"sound and I'm sure I have not run over something on the road. I even tried it pulling into my driveway.

I took a look under on the suspension and nothing seems to be loose.

Any ideas what this might be????????????

HELP!

Kharizma,

Thanks for feedback

Well, that just might be the problem.....

Did you replace with OEM parts or did you go aftermarket?

How long into when you heard noise? My GS is a 2000 with 67K

Hey gus you might want to take a friend with you to a parking lot, and make some turns while you or him listen outside. That could help you pin point the problem easier.
