Clunking, popping noise from front end when turning the steering wheel at low speed, usually when parking or backing up. Something is binding, what am I not lubricating correctly. Have a couple of 850s and never heard this noise?

First convertible and I am not impressed with the front suspension. Seems to float or bottom out on rolling or uneven highway pavement at highway speed. Seems very sloppy compared to the 850's?

Thank you for taking the time,

Kurt

Hey Kurt,

Just a possibility.....I recently had the same type of noise on a 98 Mustang and it ended up being a front wheel bearing. Assuming its coming from the front end i would jack up the front end and try each wheel as follows: place your hands at 12 and 6 and check for any play. Good luck
