Every time I turn hard left or right, I hear this popping noise. Could this be ball joints, or suspension problems? Thanks

Before I say it's the control arms that need replaced can you describe when this happens? Does it only make the noise after the car hasn't been driven for a couple hours? Only at low speeds when backing up or moving forward, like pulling out of a garage or parking spot?

Reason I ask is that the front brake pads can make that same noise when the brakes are cold and you apply the brakes the first couple of times.

 

Can almost guarantee it will be the control arms How old is your car and how many miles you done ?

 

It is a 2007 with 88,000 miles.
