Hi,

OK, first a bit of history... I had my car in at the dealer a while back, and they said they needed guide rod mounts. I got them from fastlane and had my MB only indy put them in.

Before this, I had a popping sound that originally was only in the cold when steering over a bump. Then I got one pop when steering sharply. Then worse, and worse.

I figured it had to do with the guide rod mounts. Thats why I urgently wanted to get them changed out.

I then changed to bilstein HDs myself last week. Havent driven much, but today I was out on a long drive... and the popping has gotten worse. It pops three or four times when doing a ~90 degree turn. And it now seems like it is coming from the floorboards area. I seem to feel it through the throttle when driving. I dont know if its a steering component thats binding up or doing something bad, or what else.

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much,

JMH
