I just started hearing a slight popping sound from my passenger front wheel.
I was entering the interstate the other day turning slightly right boosting pretty hard and that when i heard it. I have not heard it at low mph speeds just 40+ mph and only while turning right. Im not sure where its coming from. Just seeing if there is anything i should look at. Also i did search however did not find much about it.

Thanks in advance.
 
cv axle, wheel bearing, motor mount, make sure it's not in a certain gear or it could be a transmission problem. my friends differential was going bad and it would click so bad around right turns in second, just try to really pay attention to when it happens because little details like that make the problem easier to track down
 
Sounds like it could be a CV shaft going bad. To check this: go into a parking lot, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, drive in a circle. Then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, drive in a circle. If you hear "click, click, click" one of your CV axles is bad.
