Popping/Crack sound

[Jakester]

Hey guys!

Hopefully this is in the right spot. I picked up a 2019 Ecoboost a couple weeks ago. I've noticed that when I turn the wheel sometimes there is a popping/cracking sort of noise. I'm having a hard time describing it, especially since I really do not know cars mechanically at all. I was hoping someone can help me out.

I wish I can give more detail, but it's hard to explain. It sounds like it's coming from the front, like I said when I turn the wheel. Mainly only seems to happen when I turn the wheel all the way for a tight turn. Half the time I've been ignoring it, so I can't say if it's happening 100% of the time or when going over speed bumps.

So to kinda recap..I think it's happening over speedbumps (sometimes?), tight wheel turn such as pulling into a driveway or parking spot.

Anybody have any idea what this could be? Can you explain it in the simplest of terms for someone who doesn't know a lot about this sort of stuff? I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance! If you need any more details, please let me know and I'll try to explain it better.

2019 Ecoboost w/Performance Package if that changes anything.

You probably have bad strut bearings. My 18 had a popping noise when turning and going over an elevation change. Warranty covered replacement.

My 2019 GT performance pack 1 is doing the same thing and a vibration felt in the steering wheel is starting to develop.
