PSS10 making poping noise?

I had Pss10 installed in my car a few months ago. Well about every time I crank the wheel full tilt I have a nasty popping noise when backing up and more so turning the wheel to the right. It does it going forward but not as loud or as nasty sounding. I was wondering if this is normal for coil-over or is it not seating properly?

I have the PSS Damptronics, been on for a few months and I havent heard any popping noises, might want to get it checked out.

Main spring is rotating on the perch, not really normal on street coilovers but common on race setups.

I'd tell the installer to check it out

Yup, normal spring pop as they are shifting under slow tight turning. Typical of coilovers.

Check the tightness of the nuts that secure the swaybar endlinks. They may have come loose.

Just adding a data point here: Mine does not make any popping sound. I just retested this morning. My setup is PSS10, GMG sway, Tarett drop link.

hey buddy, i have it on my car and it seems normal for it to make that sound if you turn it all the way. but when driving straight, i have no issue. perhaps get it checked out and as a recommendation, get it adjusted every few months or so!! good luck.
