Popping noise up front on the drivers side.

[Larry L]

We about a week ago my driverside wheel began making a very low pitched popping sound. This would happen as I began to move the car foreward or backwards. By the next day it was poppin a lil louder on the same side intermitenly while in turns. At this time I inspected the axles and arms...Found nothing significant. Then a day later I began hearing a pop comming from what sounds like the middle of the engine. You can also feel it in the steering wheel (slightly). Now it is popping during turns, and anytime I press the accelerator while moving. (30mph roll let off the thr, and then press it sharply). Looked this up in the search section and found there was a ball joint recall on my car. However, It has already been done on my car...please help.

Could be your cv joint popping in and out, im having the same problem right now, but its not getting worse as quick as your saying.

I would take it back and see them do the recall again. for free

Well if it is the lower arm or CV joint I will fo sho. But I'm more worried it might be CW

Well took it to the dealership and they said it was my motor mounts. So I got some solid Polyeurithane mounts and the noise from the center of the engine is gone. But the popping in my drivers side is still there. But I say "God Damn". My car launches good with these mounts.. I never realized how much it felt like a huge rock was rolling around in my engine bay. My body dosen't roll and the car feels so solid. I honestly felt as much od a difference with these as when I put my Front Mount on. Only draw back is that all the engine vibration is transfered directly to my dash But this biotch is fast!!!

agreed..if the motor mounts were bad you have probably damaged the axle also. the axles really don't like rocking back & forth
