Default Cracking noise from front end!!!

Hey guys,

Had this problem since I got the car and it's really starting to bug me. It's a series of three and always three loud cracking noises coming from the front passenger side. It usually does it when reversing out of a carpark but it is always followed up by another three cracking noises once I take off forward again. I've had the steering rack replaced so that's out of the question. Any help would be appreciated.

Russ.

I had a similar problem in mine. One of the control arm bolts had come loose. Get a mechanic to do a spanner check over the front suspension.

1st guess would be upper/lower control arm bushes, 2nd would be sway bar bushes, had a similar noise in mine & installed a swaybar bush kit (today actually) & my problems solved! :
