It could be a number of things. Suspension: shock or strut. Steering: linkage. Drive line: drive shaft or CV joint. Wheel: loose lug nuts or worn bearing. Need more info to narrow it down.
Possibly a bad wheel bearing.
A grinding and popping sound from the front left wheel could indicate several issues, such as worn brake pads, a damaged wheel bearing, or a problem with the suspension components. If the brake pads are worn down, they may grind against the rotor, while a failing wheel bearing can create a popping noise as it loses stability. Additionally, loose or damaged suspension parts, like struts or control arms, can cause similar sounds when driving. It's essential to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and address the issue promptly.
if its while your driving it could be wheel bearings
A bad front wheel bearing typically produces a grinding, humming, or roaring noise that intensifies with speed and may change when turning. In contrast, a bad CV joint often makes a clicking or popping sound, particularly noticeable when making sharp turns. While both issues can lead to noticeable noise while driving, the specific sounds and their contexts help differentiate between the two.
My left wheel ticking while driving was causes by brake pads that did not fit. As explained poor fit.
Yes the crackling, popping sound means it is time to release the spit using your water key at the end of the slide.
jack the car up, if you can wiggle the wheel and nothing else moves..... tadaaa! otherwise while driving down the road, it may sound as tho your wheel might fall off.
a popping sound in the front end is a little vague but if it is happening while you are turning or driving there is a good chance it could be the CV joints ( only on 4 wheel drive models) if it is going on just while the motor is running it could be a sticky lifter in which case a quart of Lucas oil to replace one of your quarts of standard motor oil can also help this. or a mechanic can re-tighten your lifters these are just a couple simple things that can be checked but for more accurate answer the question needs to be more specific
Your car may need power steering fluid if it makes a buzzing noise when you turn the wheel.
If you are hearing a loud popping sound from your carburetor while the engine is running, then that is engine back fire. It is possible that your timing is off at the distributor if it happens often.
Sounds like a drive train problem or perhaps a wheel barring issue, depending on your vehicle.
If the steering wheel is loose while driving the steering rack may be going bad. A bad steering rack leads to a lot of play on the actual wheel.
