usually your cv joint makes a popping noise while you are turning

a bad wheel bearing will make noises while you are driving in a straight line

if it is the cv joint there is a shop off of Fowler and US 41 I think that replaces them for a good price. i can't remember the name right now.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

the car makes a popping noise, while i turn but i have to b and a complete stop. i think it those that since i dont have power power steering

it did made a noise while i was driving in and straight line and find out the cause of it the driver side wheel was coming out, the lugnuts were coming loose
i found out went i made a right turn 2night and the i felt the car go side ways well meaning the driver side wheel so i replace it with new lugnuts and the noise is gone but i still hear the noise when i turn my wheels around when i'm and a complete stop can that b a cv joint or is it because i don't have power steering
