passenger-side wheel popping noise
Every time my left wheel makes contact with uneven ground for example my drive way something I'n my passenger-side wheel pops. At high speeds there is vibration I'n the front. Is it the hub or LCA? 6 months ago I hit a huge pot-hole that cracked my rim I'n half and it was the front driver rim that cracked, I have a feeling this has to do with my problem I'm having now.

Hmmm... never knew that it was possible for them to create a pooping noise. However, i've heard popping noises before.

A little joking aside, if you whacked a pot hole that hard to crack your wheel in half, then I suggest taking your car to a reputable shop and have them get in there and give it a good looking over. There could possibly be steering and/or suspension damage.

Probably wheel bearing. So you should get a new hub.

I had a groaning sound from right side. I dealer told me it was LCA. I went to another shop because they could do it for cheaper and they said it was actually my wheel bearing on front passenger side. Basically they had my car on lift and showed me how right tire had a little bit of vertical play when they push on it.

Glad I got a 2nd opinion because if its was for nissan I would have spent money on control arm and still have issue.

Could be a bearing, brake,steering, axle, or suspension related.

How/when does it happen? While turning or going straight? Going over bumps or all the time? Hitting brakes or all the time?

It happens while I turn, but only if I turn and hit uneven ground like the bump b4 getting up on my driveway from the street.
