Popping sound while driving
I've searched the forum and I've read about the popping sound when turning the wheel to the left, but I can't find anything about my problem. I hear a popping sound when driving - primarily when driving over rough roads or hitting a bump.
Am I hearing something normal or is do I have something wrong? I don't want to look like an idiot when I take the car in to have it checked if there's nothing wrong. I'm used to driving MB's and they do have a different steering setup than a PT. I thought about going for a test drive at the dealership in another covertible to see if I hear the same noise. I don't have any type of fluid leaks either.

Check your Lower Control Arm Bushings!

Re: Popping sound while driving
I had a popping noise on bumpy roads with my 2001 PT .I and found excessive play in the outer tie rod ends.I replaced them and no more noise.It could also be the lower control arm bushings.
