I have an 1989 Delta88 Royale. The Struts are about 1 year old. I think the springs are the original ones but I'm not sure. So on to the problem.

When I turn more the steering wheel more than halfway to the left, the front-end starts making harsh cracking/popping sounds. When I turn a little more than halfway to the right, I get the same noise.

So what do you guys suggest I look at? Oh, and ask me questions if you need more info.

Everthing in the front suspension and steering. Could be anything from a loose wheel to the rack and pinion.

While you are under the front bumper, have someone turn the wheel enough to cause it. You should be able to see, as well as, hear it.

Also, check your CV boots to make sure they havent split open. Exposed CV joints lose lubrication, and gather dirt. Worn CV's crack and pop when turning corners.

CV joints are a good possibility. It doesn't sound like it's your springs.
