Twice now, turning left out of a parking lot and onto a busy street there has been a super loud Pop coming from the front end of my 2004.5 350z. Suspension, steering ETC ??? Seems its coming from the driver side. Is this a known issue ? Its unreal how loud the pop is. Crazy loud.
Thank for any suggestions. my car has 35,600 miles on it, maybe i should get it to the dealer before 36,000 and get it checked out? If you guys have any suggestions, that would be helpful.
thank you.
search yielded no results so all the CSs dont even think of saying "use the search function."

The only cars that don't have them from the diff to the wheel are live-axle cars.
To the OP - check that your FSB isn't binding and that your front shocks are correctly torqued. Also, check that you aren't at the limits of the steering make sure that all of the parts that should move do -- and those that aren't supposed to move do not move.

I have the same problem with the popping. Recently I had new tires put on and a day later I found that while driving the car shook and when I came to stops it creaked it also makes a popping noise when i make turns. The people who put on my tires might have abused my car I dont know. It's goin on the lift tommorow

I took "CV joint" to mean the specific FWD application, not the more generic (and indeed technically ok) usage which would encompass U-joints, etc. I stand corrected on that issue. However, the OP was talking about the *front* of the car, which certainly lacks CV joints.
Editted fore speling and clarity.
