Single Pop
Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I am new to this site,well posting anyways, been following for years.
I have a 2000 Excursion lifted 6 inches with 35" tires on 20" Fuel wheels and i notice when I make a left or right hand turn between 10-20 mph i get a single pop or clunk from the front end. wondering if anyone has run into this issue?
also one more really annoying thing while i am turning there is creaking, sounds like body flex? maybe body mounts? any help would be great.
anyone have issues with ball joints?

What are the exact conditions that will make it pop? Turning the wheel, hitting a bump? Will it do it if you turn the wheel sitting still?

Rats!
Sheet metal pop sound? Clunk metal on metal? Might be two separate issues.
I'd safely (level, block rear tires, ample capacity jack stands) lift the front axle off the ground and do some pulling/tugging/turning to try to recreate.

Afmedic- the single clunk only happens when I'm making a right or left hand turn doing about 10mph. I'd say the steering wheel is turned maybe half way to 3/4 turned, not fully locked.
Wpnaes- I'd say it is more like a sheet metal pop, I can feel it at my feet as well as passenger feet, its pretty loud and quick as well. I will try the lifting of the front end this week sometime.
Thanks for all the tips everyone I appreciate it

I have a 2wd 02 with 33". I get a pop like that just going straight sometimes on take off. Still trying to figure it out.
