When we got to the park I crawled under the coach and inspected everything closely with a flashlight, nothing appeared loose, no oil or grease leaks anywhere. Looked at u joints, carrier bearing, springs, swaybars, exhaust, pretty much everything. I also checked the slide to make sure it hadn't moved, it was solidly in. Nothing loose in any of the storage compartments.

On the way back Myra noticed that the noise occurred when I moved the steering wheel to the left like I was changing lanes. I tried swerving slightly to the left several times and heard the popping noise almost every time.

Any ideas or has anyone else had or noticed this problem? Got me stumped! ANY thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!!!

Welcome back home! Glad you guys had a good time!!

Check out your mud flaps on your left side, they may be rubbing on your tires causing that popping noise when turning left.

Good idea on the 90 degree adapters!!
