Popping Noise When I Turn or Hit a Bump (@ low speeds)

[foxyroxy13]

I have a 13 Sonic LT 1.8L and am having a terrible time fixing it... I've replaced both front lower control arms, sway bar links, and outer tie rods and still have this popping noise when I turn or hit a bump going at low speeds. I'm thinking it now could be either the intermediate steering shaft or the rack and pinion... Has anyone else had this issue or heard this noise? HELP! Lol this car is almost ten years old and I wanna get it back in tip top shape.

what sort of popping noise? it only happens while you are moving? can you hear it if you are parked and turn the wheel?

I had the same noise on my 2014 LT, it was the Font Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link. The factory ones are plastic. The cushioning around one end deteriorated and made that pumping or popping sound at low speed. I got metal ones, fairly cheap, about $20 to $25 apiece, depends on what brand. No problems since.

I have to replace my stabilizer bar link in the one side but going to replace both instead which one will be better the plastic or the metal kind
