Default Popping noise
Every time I take a right turn or come out of a right turn I get a popping noise from my front left wheel or steering ? Any suggestions ?

Possibly a loose shock bolt or swaybar link?

Usually a popping up front will be ball joints or u-joints

Check your ujoints, that would be where you would get that combination of noises from.

Try having someone slowly rotate the steering wheel in and out of a right turn while you observe the steering linkage.

I've checked everything I thought it could be. Hit a brick wall and had to take it in
