Well here is what im wondering, I have a 98 SLT 3.9 and the stering is fine but the sterring wheel makes a cracking or poping noise when i turn it ether to the left or the right, It is almost like a plastic poppin or somthing. Its not in the engin compartment beacuse the noise is comming from the plastic box directly behind the wheel, but it is getting louder now, i race my truck alot and i need to know if somthing is going to break or somthing, Have you ever herd of this? All help is apperciated.

It is the clock spring. When it goes bad they make all kinds of weird noises in behind the steering wheel.
