I to had that cracking sound,and it will get worse over time.Nothing too serious as everything is bolted together and will not come apart.However,the noise is your king pins or ball joints,whatever some people like to call them.They need to be replaced or machined but check them first by jacking the car and hitting the top of the tyre and look for movement in the top of the ball joint.It will only move a little,like 1 thou so pay attention.Hope this helps,if not try caster bushes or steering rack bushes.

Not to be rude mate, but if you can see 1 thou movement in something then you must have some pretty damn good eyes, you do realise that 40 thou is 1mm, 20thou is .5mm so 1 thou is 1/20th of .5mm =.025mm in my book anything that moves that much is within tolerance.

More then likely its bushes that need replacing. My bros castor bushes crack/squeek everytime he reverses and then breaks. My castor bushes crack/squeek whenever i break after going forward. :rofl:
