Noticed today that the outlook has a cracking sound when you are rolling slow and turn the wheels. It does not do it sitting still , I have been under it and see no wear on the CV joints and boots still good. Anyone have an idea..Thanks

wheel bearings tearing each other up?

 

[maxxedout]

Maybe, thanks I will be checking them. Would explain the only when its rolling thing.

How cold is it ?

A lot of fresh snow ?

 

[maxxedout]

40 - 50 degrees and no snow. Checked the wheel bearing and they are fine. I will be looking at it again next weekend.

Check the front stabilizer end links. Any change in load on the stabilizer bar will cause the bushings in worn end links to pop. They are prone to wear out. Moog makes a replacement set with Zerk (grease) fittings.

I agree most definitely end links.

I have this same problem, but not just at cold temperatures, if making any turn at any speed below about 40 mph I hear an awful popping noise. Its not coming from the steering column (I can't actually FEEL the popping but I can hear it)
