thats normal... all my toyota's do that

Could be the upper or lower balljoints.

I too hear a PoP when i turn the wheel hard to the left on my current Supra. I had a Chevy with this same scenario and it was the Upper Control Arm Bushing. They are made with a hard rubber that deteriorates over time, so you get metal to metal contact, which causes the pop. I found the part but realized it was very difficult to install and brought it to a mechanic.

Sorry for bringing back an old thread but you are wrong it is not so much normal as it is typical for toyota. This indicates a problem with your CV boots/joints. If it just started and isnt severe you might get lucky and only have to replace the boots. If not you'll have to replace the CV joints.

I knew there was something different about my car, (apart from the steering wheel on the right) my supra doesn’t have CV joints on the front wheels, its rear wheel drive. Must be a limited addition Supra ?

Constant Velocity Joints

CV joints allow a rotating shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used on front wheel drive vehicles.

No iwas just being retarded they are called half shaft cv's or something to that affect. Sorry for the incorrect nameing but thepoint still stands
