    Popping noise when steering

    Just installed H&R sports and Billie sports. I'm hearing a slight popping or creaking noise from the front passenger side only when steering at low speeds or steering while stationary. Sound is definitely coming from the front spring and strut housing. I did not replace the strut mount on that side because it appeared to be in good shape. Could the strut mount be the culprit? It is not all that bad, I hear just a few clicks at a certain place during the rotation. It's a bit annoying. Just wondering if this is common and if there is a quick fix. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The strut mount could be the culprit. Or it could be the control arm or tie rod. A proper suspension inspection by an experienced BMW tech should reveal the cause(s).
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
