Welcome to the forum…

A picture is worth a thousand words… It sounds like your ball joint broke (separated) but since we can’t see the damage it is kind of hard to say otherwise…

Here is a recent post about what seems to be the same thing happening to someone else…

> So i was turning at maybe 7 mph and this happened. i’ve been hearing a popping noise for like a month now but over looked it. ik the axel needs replaced but what about the ball joints tie rods or anything else. i’m kinda lost with this whole mechanic stuff. plz help
