Popping suspension sound, possible fix-boot?
I've had a Popping sound coming from my suspension only at slow speeds while turning. Usually getting in and out of parking spots. I was taking a closer look last night and found that both boots have slipped past the bump stop and are twisted on top.
I think the twisted boot on top of the bump stop is making that sound when turning.




Anybody else ever had this happen?

...you may want to get that fixed ASAP if you want those shafts to have a longer life-span...
