Default right turn noise

I have a '00 neon and when I turn right, especially at low speeds, I hear a popping noise coming from the front passenger side. I just replaced my struts not too long ago. Could it be the CV joints or even the strut mount? Thanks!

it sounds like your spring on the right side might be binding up. Id check the berrings between the camber plate and the spring make sure the spring is turning when u turn the weel, other then that maybe it can also be ur ball joints. just my 2 cents

If you can duplicate the noise sitting still it is probably the mount. If you only get it moving then start look at your control arms and halfshafts and berings.

i have the same problem on one of my cars and i havent had the time to check it out yet...my work car does it too, and i think its the control arm bushing because i had to kind rig it up after i clipped a semi truck at 90 mph a few monthes ago and ripped the whole passenger side suspension off
