Default Loud pop 1988 930 Turbo

Hi Guys
Was driving down the freeway today and hit a bump and heard a loud pop coming from the drivers side front wheel well?
Now once in a while I hear the pop or bang upon turning ?
Any ideas,someone told me it could be the bolts on the spring came lose or Colliver.
Any thing like this ever happen before to anyone?
Thanks
Dan

Need more info....is your car stock? If so no coilover to speak of, only torsion bars. Check your sway bar bushings, could be deteriorated. Check any bushings in the front for that matter. Hopefully something simple.

While you have the wheel off you may wanna check the tie rod ball joint for play and of course the wheel brgs for play. Another place I'd look is the universal steering joint in your smugglers box, which could be loose.

Good luck & let us know what you find.

I would check the wheel bearings.
