whenever i get up to about 50-55 mph i notice that my steering wheel has a little bit of vibration, no intense vibration but enough to get my attention and think about it everytime i drive...i noticed this at about 50k miles and now i have 57k and sometimes it happens and than wont for a couple weeks than it will and was wonderin if u guys had any ideas? also when turning from a stand still once i turn my wheel all the way i hear one pop noise almost like something hit or bumped into something in my steering, again not intense but enough to noticeably hear....im hoping these arent signs to rack and pinion problems....what do u guys think?

(noise when turning is never heard when its cold or raining)

I suggest to do a front end check.Could be a tie rod.

for the vibration i would go with a front end alignment. is your car lowered at all?

[Steve04]

its not lowered yet im doin that in a couple days just waitin on the springs, and i got a front end alignment a weeks ago and rotated/balanced the tires...im just hoping that when i lower it this mild problems dont get worse
