When I fully turn my steering wheel as far as it goes I hear a single loud popping noise. Also if I park with the front wheels turned they look like they're slightly rolling over on the side wall of the tire.

  I'd get the steering and the suspension checked preferably by a MB specialty shop.
  Unfortunately it's almost impossible to give you good advise about noises and conditions which requires visual inspections.
