Anyone familiar with this TSB??
I have a 04' Alero. 71,000 mi. Been having these symptoms for awhile now; popping sound when turning as well as braking. I have already replaced both front struts, mounts and springs after the dealer suggested so. Sick of sticking money into the car when it's not fixing the problem. The popping happens when I am in reverse and turning to the left. Not any other way, unless I hit a bump.
Anyone familiar with this?

I had the very same noise and Replaced Struts, Control arms, sway arm links. Then I saw this TSB, I replaced the brackets and bushings on the sway arm, and guess what? It still makes the noise! F*** it, turn the damn radio up! LOL

I was wondering if it was a cv joint but the shop didn't think it was.
If you don't mind me asking, about how much did that run ya?

That 100% sounds like a cv joint avg price on cv axels urs is the shorter one thats needed the left side which is around 100$ plus 1 hour labour max ( really only takes 30 mins to do )
