When i turn my wheel all the way to the right or left i hear a popping noise coming from my driver side front wheel. I only hear this noise when I'm turning. I do not hear any noise whilst driving my car or going over any bumps. Any idea what'd it be. A CV joint or ball joints? I recently put in a new suspension thinking it was the struts (they were pretty shot to begin with).

could be cv joints, but that sounds more like the tophat in the suspension. what tophats did you go with? or rather what suspension did you go with. and what did you torque it to

you shouldnt have an issue with those. i too have the cygnus performance coils. they are outstanding. i'd check the tightness of the tophats but now i'm thinking less that it would be those. if they are metal though it could be (mine are but i dont get popping noises)

especially since this turns out to be a wear issue, not a new suspension issue . . .

There is almost never all the info provided in a first post , hence my use of the word guess . . . Plenty of people have experience popping after disassembling and reassembling stock suspensions, sometimes from having the springs incorrectly oriented.
