While sitting still, I turned my steering wheel all the way left and a popping sound with a jerk happened. What could it be?

Hi,

This sounds like a suspension component but the issue is there is no easy way to tell you which one with out some inspection and diagnosis.

Here is a guide that goes through the basic items:

I suspect you have a loose bushing but as I said we are going to have to inspect them to be sure. Can you get a recording of the popping noise? Maybe one from inside the vehicle and then one from outside on the sound that it is the loudest?
