    please help a guy out!

    So, i have a bit of a problem. started happening a bit ago when i took a turn pretty sharp and i heard some sort of cracking or popping noise or something. Now my car has a clunking/rattling/clicking problem. Front right side around the tire or suspension area i think. it makes the noise when i go over small bumps and stuff on the road, and only sometimes when turning, usually just when going straight. not sure what it is, i took off the tire, nothing seems wrong, nothing seems out of place, and nothing is loose. any ideas? btw, im in the socal, 714 area so i can go to have someone take a look if they want to.

    Check for any play in your tie rod end, my car is making very similar noise, but my tie rod end is shot. Will be putting in new ones when I put my new springs in.

    It could be a couple of things.. tie rods, ball joint's or top hats. Sometimes steering rack but that's mainly when turning.

    thats the squeek of the top hats/strut mount. either take it out and grease it for a temporary fix or just replace it. oreily has them for about 30bucks.

    just found another lil thing that might narrow down what's going on. When i push down on the ront end right side where the sound is coming from, the car makes a click and a squeaking noise.
