Popping noise while turning

I have a 94 camaro with 98K on the clock. The right front of the car makes a poping sound while turning at low speeds. I have taken it to dealers and they can not either hear it or they say it is nothing. I have to disagree because it sounds like something breaking. I have personally looks at the ball joints and the front struts are fairly new. Not sure what else it could be. I have also looked at the tie rods the look fine also.

I will take a look. My ball joint I know are fine. How do you tell about your tie rods? Was your rack visible lose or did you loosen them and retighten and that what fixed the noise?

I would take a look at the swaybar bushing and endlink. As mentioned above, a problem with the swaybar hardware could cause those noises on turns.

i had my car on lift , all wheels were off the ground, id take the wheels and turn them left and right(full turns) by hand, quickly ,we heard the noise but couldnt point out where it was coming from. I got the bright idea to watch the rack and when we turned them to the left i saw the rack shift so i tightened the bolts and it was fine afterwards.

u can do the same thing with the tierods, just rock the wheels back and forth (side to side...u dont need to turn the wheels just rock them) watch the tie rod ends theres should be no play or movement at all.

like stated above check suspension components to.
