I have a series of pops that occur only on the first cold start of the day when i pull out of my driveway. When you turn the wheel to full lock it feels like the front diff is locked or something. The steering wheel turns free but you can feel resistance during the popping. Cannot recreate any other time other than the first cold start of the day. 2016 with 17000 miles. I have posted a link ti the video I took of it this morning.

I didn't watch the video but it's probably the strut bearings.

I figured ifthe bearing were bad it would be easy to replicate but it's literally only 1 time a day

I guess that would kinda be a relief. Do you know what the noise is though?

Happens to me with my 18’ ST, just the springs popping under load when backing down an uneven grade at a angle.
