I had a similar problem with a popping - clanking noise when I was turning the Steering Wheel and going at a slow speed.
See if you can have someone listen outside the car while you drive it to be sure.
I replaced the one drive axle and the problem was solved.

Front stabilizer/sway bar bushings sound worn. I had same, on my 91'. Felt like someone was thumping the floor under my feet sometimes. I managed to get away with spinning the outer ones at control arms, but replaced ones in middle at frame.

your on the right track. it can't be done with out a spring compressor. but do you purchase a GOOD
SAFE compressor for a few uses ?. better to unbolt the three top 13 mm retainer nuts ,than unbolt the two 21 mm lower steering knuckle bolts along with the 15mm stabilizer nuts, and take the strut to a local garage and pay a couple of bucks and have someone pressthe spring on thier compressor for you . its safer. also index the lower 21 mm knuckle bolts for reassemble. its your wheel alingment camber angles.
good luck chris

try the simple solution first put your front tires on back and back tires on front. check your air pressure then take it for a drive and see if any thing has changed. if so you probably have a badly worn tire. if no change have someone move the steering wheel back and forth wyle you are under the fornt of the car (dont forget to chalk the wheels) and see if any of your steering components are loose/moving. if nothing is loose and your tires are good try to bounce the front end. if you can really get the front of the car going up and down pretty easy you havce bad struts/shocks.

Most common problem would be tires are out a balance. Or, the tires are out of round ( meaning the tires have a hop to it; not completely round ).
