My car,1994 TSi was being jacked up to put on summer tires some weeks ago,and I was doing a poor attempt at it,and the jack kneeled sideways,leaving the car on 3 wheels with the front left brake rotor well dug into the ground.( I know,and I have learned my lesson.)
Salvaged the situation,new wheels on,now I have this sound coming from somewhere around the front left strut.
Hard to describe, popping sound,almost like some metal part slipping over when I turn the steering wheel left at stand still.
I thought from the sound that my wheel bearing was split,and the sound is also reminding me of what a loose stabilizer link sound like.
I have changed after the incident; front left wheel hub,both stabilizer links,the strut rod bushing is fairly new.
The sound is only when steering wheel is turned left,I have looked under the car when someone else is aiding with steering,nothing seems to give.The spring looks intact too.Could my accident have crushed something within the strut mount assembly,does the car have some kind of bearing where the strut is connected to the frame? Just curious as to what to look for next,before I take this assembly apart again.Any advice much appreciated.
