So my 2007 SSV has developed a popping/clunking sound when making right turns...it is somewhat intermittent but is more pronounced on harder turns.

Any ideas on what I am up against here?

So reviewing previous posts it looks like there are a number of potential culprits:

- Slip yoke may need greasing
- Alignment cam bolts may need to be tightened
- Wheel bearing may be shot
- Bad tie rod/ball joint
- Busted motor mount
- Busted sway bar link bracket

These seem to be common issues with the NBS...

Well the mystery has been solved...Two busted sway bar links. Glad it wasn't a wheel bearing!

Just had to replace mine over the weekend. It rattled on every bump, had a look at them and all their bushing were blown out. Went with the Moog kit.
