Question Knocking noise?!?

Hey guys...

Whats up?

I need some help, I have a single knock-like/pop 'noise' when I turn the steering wheel to the left... any ideas?

I haven't done any previous work to the steering system so I figured something would be due for replacement by now!

Any ideas of what this noise might be coming from?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Sincerely,
Brandon Mendez

Bah! No body has had something like this happen before? N*E body ever had knocking noise coming from the left side when you turn the wheel to the left??? It seems to be most evident when turning the wheel at extremly low rate of rolling speed. Anybody got an idea? Thanks Oldman, I'll try that tonight... :/
