Hello.

Every now and then when I am reversing into or out of a parking stall my steering goes CRACK. It happens when the wheels are turned to the left. It's very loud, the first time it happened I thought I ran something over, but there was nothing there.

Any idea what it could be or be causing it? Also, if I have to go to the dealer about it, could they say that my BL has something to do with it? confused

You need to put some grease on your steering stops. I am sure after someone tells you to search they will post a link to a picture smile

Nothing to worry about at all [ThumbsUp]

I had something like that when my sway-bar end link bushings were badly worn/missing.

Retourque your BL bolts. Sometimes they can work loose & you here a cracking or pop when you twist the frame a bit. I had on bolt loosen after an offroad trip & I kept hearing that cracking/popping noise when I turned to the right. I retorqued all the bolts & no-more cracking.

Is it a cracking or more of a crunch? Like running over a soda can? Another suggestion is the CV. Oh the possibilities....... [Uh Oh !]
