2004 EB Front End POP

I have a 2004 EB 4x4 and am experiencing a front end "POP" or "Clunck" when turning left or right, such as pulling into a parking space. I notice it more when turning left but it does at times happen when turning right. As Murphy's Law would have it, the dealership can not reproduce the sound. Has anyone experienced this or know of the cause? Thanks

I had the same thing happen on my 1999 EB- it was the warning that my inner tie rod was about to go. (However, we didn't know that at the time) While my boyfriend was driving home a couple of weeks later, the tie rod broke and he skidded (very violently, I might add) off the road just missing a phone pole. My advice (non-expert, of course) would be to check the tie rods and replace the culprit before you have the unlucky instance of having it happen on an interstate. I wish you the best!!

well finally got it fixed today.....the reason why i was getting pop was because my screw for my lower control arm was loose on the left side. if you stand in front of your truck and you look right up under your fog light you will see a nut that connects to your lower control arm. well if see any wear down there where the nut is that means its loose. so like i said that was my problem i hope this helps you out

well I got mine to the dealer a couple days ago (2nd time in for this) and it appears that they have fixed...loose nuts and bolts in the front end. I definately think there is a quality control issue here.
