Hi, The problem is every time im coming out of a parking spot or making a tight turn, i hear loud popping noises from my car. I went back to the dealer to see whats wrong, And they said that it was just the rims and tires, They are aftermarket rims.
But i dont think its that, every time it pops i feel it in the center of the car not on the outside where the tires are at. If you can please help me out.
i Would really like to know if its something i should worry about.
Thanks.

Have them check the ball joints and make sure the rack and pinion is tight.
