why does my Genesis G70 make a popping noise when turning

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Worn Components

• Suspension Inspection

  • Remove the front wheels using a socket set.
  • Visually inspect the control arms, ball joints, and CV joints for any visible damage.
  • Use a pry bar to check for play in the ball joints.

• CV Joint Repair

  • If the CV joint is damaged, remove the axle from the hub by removing the axle nut and any retaining bolts.
  • Replace the CV joint with a new one, ensuring proper alignment.

• Steering Components

  • If the tie rod ends or steering rack are worn, remove the affected components.
  • Replace with new parts, ensuring they are torqued to specifications (usually around 40-50 ft-lbs for tie rod ends).

3. Reassemble and Test

• Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications (usually 80-100 ft-lbs).
• Reconnect the battery.
• Lower the vehicle and perform a test drive to ensure the noise has been resolved.
