Question front end

Does anybody have the problem with there front end of it making snapping or a poping or a creaking noise and if so how did you correct it . It sound like the left side of the car but at no specific time sometimes when it turns or going slowover a bump and some when I accelerate.

Thanks

Is this while you turn, Break, accelerate, ect. need a little more detail.
Could be body to chasis mounts or steering issues also CV joints, Most likely is tie rod ends or ball joints wheel bearings there is alot to go with so as much detail as possible would be great.

Does it happen when you turn the wheel - it could be the Intermediate Steering Shaft - it needs to be greased - very common on these cars.

Like the afore mentioned...maybe a little more detailed info would help....
Im leaning toward a axle issue...broken...or even bad CV joints, (dry) no grease...
