Sway arm problem...

[MrTristoe]

Hey supra mania. I noticed the other day that if i turn my sterring wheel all the way to one side ill hear a "popping" sound coming from the wheel well. Me and my cousin looked at it and we think its the sway arm. For example if i have the wheels turned all the way right it pops in the right wheel well and all the way left it pops in the left wheel well. Has any one ran in to this problem before? is it an easy fix or would i have to replace the whole sway arm? Or is it something completely different thats making it pop?

I've got some sort of pop in my steering somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. It doesn't always do it if I crank the wheel from side to side, so it's been hard to track down. Let me know if you do figure it out cause I'd really like to check and see if mine is the same issue.

ill let you know if i figure it out man. probably take it to my grandparents soon and see if we could figure it out.
its really annoying too cause it only happens on the really slow turns when its cranked all the way... kinda loud noises too..

Check if the plastic stops are still in the full lock limiters.

I dont now what that means exactly.. sorry new to auto mechanics.

There is a stopper on the back side of the Hub Upright that hits against the chassis on full lock, it has a plastic cap to stop noise but they wear through or get lost over the years.
