ball joints
 

idk if its my ball joints. my car started making popping noises every time i would come to a stop and go on dips i checked every thing under and didn't find anything out of place besides a torn boot cover for my racknpion I told my friend to look at it wile i rolled and then braked. he said the tiers move at a weird motion back and forth. I am thinking its my ball joints what do you guys think

Definatly have symptoms of ball joint or possibly a strut. And ur friend watching under ur car while moving sounds dangerous I wouldnt recommend that at all. Easiest way to check ball joint is put it on a jack stand and grab the top and bottom of tire and see if u have any play. If u have any at all its a bad ball joint.

Keep your friends out from under your car

Brakes are a possibility as well. Any noises while moving at a steady slow pace? Does the noise show up regardless of brake pressure? Is the noise always a steady pattern?

I'd inspect ball joints and Brake components for signs of seizing or poor alignment.

hahah my friend was not under the car he was watching from the side as i rooled the car and then braked and yes the noise is a pattern it always pops twice like pop pop almost like a mest up strut mount except the noise comes from the bottom and the tires move back and forth

on a lighter note i at least got my ac going again thank god this 112 weather kills man

there is a ball joint replacement guide in the faq. you can get a set (left and right front wheels) tie rod ends + ball joints off ebay for about 100.
Think someone on here tested it and proved ok. but I heard mixed things about oem ebay parts.
