Exclamation Popping when I turn the wheel (Not CV Axle)

Just bought a used 06 TL and theres a popping when i turn the wheels in either direction. only while going slow might i add. Well i went to the tire shop, they looked at it and said I need a new rack and pinion set, talked to my buddy and he said it couldnt be that because its not leaking anything. If anybody could give their opinion on it I would highly appreciate that. Trying to find out what it could be before i spend any money.

I was recently told that it was the rack bushing, you can find it on rock auto for about 15 bucks.

Had the same problem. It was my upper ball joint. When i took it out, it was so flimsy, it should be very hard to move by hand. No more popping/clicking when turning wheel.
