    ok, so i noticed this a while ago, but never thought anything of it. when im leaving a parking spot and start to slowly move with my wheel turned it seems at a certain point it hits a spot that makes a load click or pop. well now it still does that like normal, but the other day i noticed it now makes a new noise sometimes. almost like something is rubbing. it only makes the sound when im going so slow like parking/leaving a spot. when im going down the road i dont hear anything. and around the same time i noticed the new sound my car seems to run little rough like a tire is low. i checked my tires for air/ anything stuck in them. all seems fine by looks. since tires seem fine, my thinking is bad struts or motor mount? would one of them going bad do that?

    thanks for any info.

    and i just realized this might have been better to put under the handling section. sorry, i'd move it if i could.... but i cant (as far as i know) but also since i have no real idea whats causing the noise.... not sure if it is either of my two idea's

    might be a power steering pump going out, or maybe a cv joint...not gonna be cheap either way though. I'd have it checked out by a midas or some kind of auto shop for an estimate.

    Could be a wheel bearing too, Ive heard them pop as you described and they can also make a growling type noise when they are going bad.

    any way to check if the bearing is going bad? i'm pretty sure its not the steering pump. i replaced that not to long ago.
