2004 Grand Prix GTP

Hey guys, I have a 04 Grand Prix GTP. It has a popping sound in the front end when I turn and sometimes even going straight... Im trying to figure out if it's the CV Joints or the struts. Please help!

Does it pop going over bumps as well?

Mine does the same thing. could be ball joints. Mines the inner tie rods which is a problem

It doesnt really pop going over bumps... A few mechanics I talked to today seem to be leaning toward CV joints.

Mine was doing that and the rack was bad.

Common problem with steering is the steering intermediate shaft needs lubed. Car running in park turn the wheel, you will get a couple of popps as you turn and as you turn back. GM makes a lube kit for it that is under $20, consisted of rubber cork and plastic seringe full of white grease. Look up lube intermediate shaft for more info.
