Exclamation help front end popping sound

So i have a 07 coupe and the front driver side pops when i come to a stop or turning the wheel right when in reverse at a slow roll pulling out. Not to much on a bump more when stopping. Ive check bolts with tire off and all tight theres no play in wheel im only guess is a bushing but not sure which one to pick from. took to dealer and they gave me deer in headlights look even after a test drive. I've look here for some old post but they are way before my model so any advise would help Thanks

Going to the stealership for anything other than warranty work isn't a great idea! My best advice to you is to find an "Independent Alignment/Brake" shop in your neighborhood, they deal with suspension issues 6 days a week. They'll put your G on the rack, within 15 minutes letting you know what is causing the popping/cracking noise your're experiencing...Gary

Get a suspension and brake inspection on a lift.

Check

- Lower control arm and bushings
- Compression arms and bushings
- Knuckle ball joint
- Sway bar end links

I may have a similar problem, I get a "cluck" noise at low speeds, parking lots etc. I've been doing the 'responsible' thing and just ignoring it for the past year, but it's gotten worse lately. If I jack up the passenger side with the wheels turned to the left, I can shake the tire and feel a little play and recreate the noise. Is this something similar?

That's wheel bearings ^ and should be taken care of before you lose a wheel! Any noises you experience from the front end can only be located by a mechanic while on a lift...Gary

Exactly what Gary said. I had the same issue which got worse as time went on. Definitely wheel bearings.
