I have recently replaced both wheel bearings in my 2004 Mountaineer.
I have all replaced the upper control arms with the ball joints included in the assebmly.
Recently we have been hearing a popping noise only when driving slow and truning. The noise seems to be coming from the drivers side front.
My first instenct is that the CV joint or U joint is worn out and problaby has no boot or grease.
I've read through several post and some suggest that the E-Brake pads need to be replaced and one also suggested a cracked stearing column.
I didn't replace the lower ball joints, but I don't think these are the culprit.
I perfer not to pay someone to tell me what it is and have them still be wrong.
How can I determine what the issue actually is and how critical is it?
