Popping noise when turning

[Kevin082071]

Hey guys, i have a 2021 defender limited and have just noticed that when turning at slow speeds and usually a sharp turn that this is a popping noise coming from the front end. It almost sounds like a tire is hitting the side, but I have checked and there is no rubbing anywhere. It only has 40 hours on it. Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar and what a fix might be.

You probably have a front cv/axle that is broken, you can grab the axle near the rubber expansion jt and pull on it; if you see the axle move towards you the cv is probably broken and will need to be replaced. Check to see that the large end of each axle is very close to the front diff, if there is a space between the flat end and the diff the axle may not have been seated into the diff correctly so that the C clip can hold it in place.(unlikely)

If you are a DIY guy you can check out the garage on how to remove and replace the axle.
