Default 1998 Dodge Stratus Pop Noise

My stratus makes a loud pop noise when you turn the car tight left or right. It only makes one pop, and the pop only occurs at speeds less that 15 mph. I've checked everything I can think of with no success. Any ideas?

It could be a number of things. However, the one that jumps out is that it might be a broken top Transmission mount. They are prone to failures on these cars and you're working on it being 10 years old at this point... Did you check there yet?

Have you checked the sway bar?

What are the things you have checked? I agree with both recommendations, check the endlinks on the sway bar, and also all the motor tranny mounts.

Im late to the party, but your CV axles are bad. Hop under the car and look at the cv boots. Does it look like grease is flung everywhere? Is the boot torn?
