Sure do...

Muffler bearing:

And here's the link for blinker fluid, though I see it's currently sold out. After all, it IS that time of year that you should change your blinker fluid.

Seabee, I'm just playing with you. Muffler bearings (and blinker fluids) are non-existant parts that people often use to fool people that don't know much about cars.

Anyway, we're going to need a LOT more info than you provided if you want us to diagnose your problem.

Check your 710 cap. Sometimes it comes loose and makes a popping noise.

pop

Could be the stabilizer bar links. They don't last forever. Crawl under the front end. Find the large round bar that goes across the front. Look at the ends. There should be a long bolt that attaches the ends of the stabilizer bar to the front end A arms.

They break and making popping sounds when cornering or when the suspension moves.

Easy and cheap to replace.

Hope that helps

Second that: same thing happend to me, I bought a new set of links online and replaced them. The old link bars were both rusted through and had broken. Make sure you get new bushings with it. Takes about two hours to replace them in your garage.

links

Another suggestion. If you find it's the links, you will find it's a long bolt with four rubber bushings and a spacer in the middle---maybe 4in long. They are meant to fail. Especially if you live in the salt belt. I'm waiting for mine to go any day---my experience is they last about 50K in the midwest.

You can extend their life I think if you coat the bolt and spacer with thick silicone grease similar to spark plug boot grease. If you don't have that chasisi grease can't hurt.

Anything to keep the bolt from exposure to salt and water.

Let us know what you find
