There is a popping noise when turning and hitting bumps and a slight clicking noise when driving. I am very unsure as to where the issue is coming from (CB axle, steering rack, ball joints, bushings, some say welds or loose bolts). I see many people online talking about this issue online.

The vehicle when in motion suddenly turns off by itself puting me and other drivers around in danger. Then, when driving the steering feels like loosing control. And I took it to the mechanic to check on it and he detected a steering wheel problem and there's no warning lights.
