Steering noise

[graftman]

Hi folks,
I just purchased my 2nd freestyle. It's a 2005 AWD SE.
I returned my other one off lease and picked up this one


This is how I duplicate the noise: Wheels straight, in drive but stepping on the brake, slowly turn the steering wheel(either way) until resistance, and then POP!(like a springy pop noise). When I say 'resistance' I am just referring to the point at which the steering actually begins to turn the wheels.

It is not the steering stops(I grease them regularly) and besides this is not at a contact point.
I don't thinks its the CV joints. all intact.
Suspension? Rack?

I read something somewhere about something to do with the suspension and replacing some kind of plate end? I'd do a search but I can't remember what the part was called.

Problem solved left side strut mount apparently there is a TSB on my build.
Thanks for all the info.
