Well, prior to the last drift day I noticed that my front suspension would pop sometimes when turning tight, or parallel parking. Also, when pulling out of the driveway, I noticed sometimes it would almost catch, and give the same feeling as if your front tires were rubbing and catching on the inner fenders. Of course, drift day made things worse. Sometimes, the car would catch when I would go full lock, pop a little, then would release.

Any ideas or quick ways to diagnose exactly what my problem is? Ive searched, and have found several different possibilities as to what a "popping" noise can be, but none have actually caught/rubbed like what Im describing. Ive heard steering rack bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc...
