whats the reason this things go out aldo any other parts i might as well replace while am in there or something how hard is it to change

I was thinking ball joints... ive had a few mustangs with the pop sound...


How many miles are on the car?

If the noise is your inner tie rods,. look at buying a remanufactured rack and pinion as they often come with new inner tie rods and arent much extra money than buying the two inner tie rods separately.

I have a popping noise as well..but it only occurs while I am backing my car up [wheel cranked and at slow speeds]

I just swapped steering racks so its not my inner tie rods..but my ball joints are SHOT..so that is probably what it is for me

just letting the OP know that it could be the ball joints and not the inner tie rods.

how much do the racks go for and the car has 65 k miles on it any pricing on the inner ties rods i guess i will add ball joints to the list as well

 

[Wynn]

I think it's your ball joints.

i vote balljoints too if its a poping creaking noise when you turn.

 

[98LazerRedCobra]

You got two answers....

jack the car up and check the balljoints and the tie rods..

I just changed both wheel hub assemblies, installed bumpsteer kit, and new steeda balljoints. And I still have the popping when i back up. All I have left to change is the inner tie rod LOL.
