I have recently been hearing a "pop pop" noise coming from the ri=

suspension area when making a slow full right turn.<br>
<br>
I do not hear it when making a full turn when the car is on concrete and is=

I noted this same condition on my E-Type also.<br>
<br>
I have Dayton wire wheels on both and relatively new hubs.<br>
<br>
It is not the spinners or a wheel bearing or worn splines.<br>
<br>
Several listers on the Jag list have said they had the same problem and<br>
