Just to clarify: that's only if while turning and going forward. If it happens while going backwards, it's the kanoodler valve not reciprocating the neolite fluid back to the reluctortangs.

You left out the muffler bearings, the transducer in the capaciter could be causing the PCM to make popping noises because its low on blinker fluid....
I wish I could have beat you to the punch hissin... Anyway to clarify our cars dont have CV joints. That is on front wheel drive cars and IRS vehicles like the 03-04 cobra. Now to bud041277 it could be the struts or lower ball joints. The tie rods would cause a noise when you move the steering wheel, similar to a rubbing noise. I want to go a step forward and say its most likely your struts because the lower ball joints would cause more of a noise when turning the steering wheel as well. Go to your vehicle and push down multiple times on the front passenger side and then the drivers side, see if you can duplicate the noise by doing just that. Also the obvious thing would be to check if your struts are leaking. Try these things and let me know what happens and I will see what I can help you with from there. I mostly do front end work at work so solving NVH problems is starting to become an art to me.

Popping just while you're turning the wheel? I'd say 90% chance it's worn out steering rack bushings. Replace the worn-out, mushy rubber ones with urethane (and lube them well), problem solved.

Easiest way to find that out is to inspect the actual rack for play.
but hes right it is a possibility.

Just need ramps and a helper to turn the wheel. Basically impossible to check without help, unfortunately.Easiest way to find that out is to inspect the actual rack for play.
But thankfully very easy to fix.
