Had a very loud popping noise in my steering at low speeds. Took it to the shop and they replaced the front struts, including the strut mounts. However, 3 days later the sound was back. They replaced the struts again. Again, 2 days later, the sound was back. This time, they only replaced the strut mounts themselves instead of the entire strut and used a different brand. Apparently this strut mount issue is pretty common with the Ford Edge and Explorer of this time frame, and I suppose the replacement parts they used were just not great quality. Definitely a headache. I'm a little over a week in since the last time it was in the shop, no noise so far...
