nope - both sides do it, with one side a bit more pronounced than the other. Both do it when turning 3/4-full lock at low speeds (like turning into a parking place).

It is about 75% repeatable - in my driveway I drove up on some slick magazines and turned the steering wheel from 3/4 to lock about 10 times. Ka-chunk nearly every time. Then I turned the wheel to full lock the other way and the other side popped.

I checked for the obvious - rubs in the fender well, tie-rod end links, ball joints, etc. All that looks fine, plus I didn't have the noise until the the Konis,H&Rs, and camber plate struts were installed. I have Koni Sports with Steeda springs on my other SVTF and have never had any of this.

After looking at the pics, the LCR plates don't have the wide diameter thrust bearing that sits in the spring hat and allows the spring to rotate freely. Instead, if I understand correctly, the LCR plates transfer all of the thrust and rotation load to the center spherical bearing. Maybe asking a lot from a relatively small bearing? Maybe the lower collet is slipping in the spring hat adapter?
