It could be the strut retaining cap on the strut tower isn't tight
enough, and the strut insert binds then releases (within the its "play"
inside the housing) when you turn the wheel. BTDT -- & Thanks to Igor
for identifying the solution!

Put a big plumbers pipe wrench on it, and tighten it with all you've got
(maybe not the Bentley torque spec, but it worked for me.)

Subject: [s-cars] CV Joint Going Bad?


Gents,
	As you know I am still unable to find some creaking/popping
noise on my 92 UrS4.  Seems now to be most apparent at slow speeds and
especially w/ the steering wheel turned.  I have check the suspension,
tie-rods, sway-bar bushings motor and tranny mounts...all see fine.  Is
it possible a car w/ 143K miles on it to have one of the CV joints go
bad?  As sometimes I can feel it even in the pedals at slow speeds when
it pops and creaks.

Help

Thx
