Weird sounds from under car

Lately ive been having problems, every once in a while when i take off my car kinda of studers and the wheels seems to hop while/before the car takes off... Also when i take turns i can hear and feel a cracking/ pop sound coming from under the passenger side front wheel... Im just curious as to what it would take to get this fixed and what parts i need o yea its a 90 se 5sp... thanks

the popping sound when turing it probably the CV axle, internetautomart.com sell them very cheap, you can look and see if the boot on that side is torn thats a pretty good indicator of whether the axle is bad or not, be sure and replaced the seal when you do the axle.

yeah the joint can wear out and start popping without the boot being torn.

sound weird but do you hear it too when you hit bumps might also want to check to see if the top nut on the strut is tight. might not be but never hurts to check I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE!
