Good possibility its your intermediate steering shaft. Which is known as (ISS). It is a defective design by GM. GM is aware of the problem and has started working to correct it. there is a new steering shaft available from GM. Lubing it is only going to fix it for a shorter and shorter period of time. The only way to fix it for good is to replace the shaft with the updated one.

When you turn the steering wheel and hear a popping noise, it could be due to the power steering pump and a sticking valve so there is not enough hydraulic pressure. It could be caused by the steering linkage going out or low power steering fluid.

What would cause 2002 Oldsmobile aurora popping sound in steering wheel front end shop can find nothing wrong steers perfectly but pops when turned left or right?

have the ball joints checked soon, can be dangerous. Had that problem on my 02 when still under warranty(5yr/60K mile) and the dealer replaced the upper bearings on the front struts. Still running OK. I had the same problem with my 2001 Aurora 4.0. Diagnosis was both front springs were broken and had to be replaced. Not a cheap repair (~$CAD 700.00) but totally unsafe to put off.
