I have an 04 mustang v6. It has a popping noise when i turn the wheel sharp, most noticeable in reverse. The tires are also cupping or feathering on the inside and make a loud roaring noise going down the road. I've replaced both ball joints, inner outer tie rods, steering sector and new struts. It has a lowering kit on it. Any help would be appreciated....Thanks!!!

I'd be checking your clearance to the frame/body when turning the wheel tight. If lowered, you run the risk of interference/contact with inner fender and/or frame. This will also cause "cupping" on the tires because they are rubbing. If suspension is sound and alignment is good, you can make some rack spacers and make it turn less.

They sometimes disappear and make clunks.
