In the past couple weeks I've notived a popping noise front my front end sometimes when I go to make a right turn. Seems to be at low speeds as I'm turning ill hear a pop noise. Its only happened about 6 or 8 times so far. Does this make sense and does anyone have any ideas? Its not a suspension noise as it happens on flat ground, like parking lots and turns onto roads.

Can you hear the noise when turning your wheel to the right and the Bus is not moving? If so, get under your Bus and have some one turn your wheel for you. Watch your drag link and see if that is where the noise is coming from. I'll bet you will find the noise there.

It could be a few things. Worn drag link, loose center pin, worn tie rod ends, worn steering box to name a few.

Sounds like the same problem I had - turned out in my case to be the draglink.
