my Genesis G70 is making a popping noise when I turn, what could it be?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and secure with wheel chocks.
• Disconnect the battery for safety.

2. Inspect and Replace CV Joints

1. Raise the Vehicle:
   • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
2. Remove the Wheel:
   • Use a socket set to remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
3. Inspect the CV Joint:
   • Check the boot for cracks or tears; if damaged, replace the CV joint.
4. Remove the CV Joint:
   • Unbolt the CV joint from the axle using a socket set.
   • Slide the joint out of the transmission or differential.
5. Install New CV Joint:
   • Slide the new CV joint into place and secure it with bolts, using the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

3. Check and Tighten Suspension Components

1. Inspect Suspension:
   • Visually inspect all suspension components including control arms, struts, and bushings for wear.
2. Tighten Bolts:
   • Use a torque wrench to tighten any loose bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.
3. Replace Worn Components:
   • If any components are found to be damaged, replace them as necessary.
