If the popping sound is more like you feel bumping in the steering wheel then its the I-shaft in the steering column. If the car is newer then check your warranty at the dealership, they will cover the replacement.

Assuming you mean the steering column, it is what transmits the turning of the wheel in your hands to the steering mechanism which moves the wheels that are touching the ground.
There is a knuckle joint on the steering column which needs greasing, apparently it's very common on the Mondys - my MK3 did it when I first got it (was worse on hot days). Local Ford dealer greased it up for me. Might be this!
There is air blowing out of the steering column and we need to know why this is happening?? Any ideas on why this is happening???
Have you tried wiggling the steering column while turning the key? If that helps, you probably need to remove a portion of the plastic cover from your steering column to enable you to lube the column lock. That's the thing that keeps the steering from turning if the key is not turned on. If the column lock jams, it can prevent the key from turning.

The earth cable from the car to the steering column has broken, so put a cable from the column to the car body.
There are 4 bolts at the bottom of the steering column that tend to get loose after entering and exiting your vehicle. Pulling your self up on the steering wheel puts stress the steering column and causes it to become loose. If you do not correct the problem fast by tightening the bolts you will have to replace the entire steering column.. -Henry's locksmith and steering column repair
One common problem is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor, located at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle), tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel. When faulty, it will cause lurching and surging in the steering - feels like loose parts.
