Bad creaking/popping from front, steering rack?
The popping has been happening for a while but yesterday it started to creak pretty bad now. It mainly happens at low speeds and turning. I've been doing some reading and maybe has something to do with the steering rack bolts loose?

Could also be suspension related if something is binding or worn out.
Year and mileage? When is the last time it was inspected? |

It is 2013 with 90k on it. It was inspected 2 months ago. It wasn't happening with enough frequency to get the mechanic to hear it. I can push down on the corners of the car and doesn't make the noises if that matters. Also don't notice it on bumps. I can make it happen parked and just turning the wheel from side to side.

Are you sure the sound is coming from the front? If so, you might try turning it from side to side driving it down the road to see if a front wheel bearing is going bad. I would suggest you take your car into a shop and have them inspect the front end. |

Man I got the same issue going on. I’m leaning towards the rack being bad.

Could it be the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) coupler?

I had this issue about 2 years ago, at around 75k miles. Dealer ended up replacing the steering column. Got it covered under warranty because the noise started happening shortly after a short block replacement.

Check to make sure all the bolts securing the metal tray under the engine are tight...if loose it makes all kinds of fun noises.

Mine is most likely wheel bearings (both my fronts have some play) I can only hear it when at a dead stop. OPs sounds like upper strut mounts, that noise will come through the firewall at any speed.
