Popping in front driver side when turning right

Asked by Bighubb81 Jun 07, 2023 at 09:24 AM about the 2005 Pontiac G6 Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Daughter drove her  2005 Pontiac G6 over an embankment into a dich
driver side first.  No cosmetic damage to the car at all and I was able to drive
it home.  However now there is a clunking/popping noise only when turning
right.  Does anyone have a quess as to what that could be?  I am leaning
toward the CV joint as after inspection i found no ball joint or tie rod breaks
and the wheel is tight when checked for vertical and horizontal movement

Maybe have a professional look at it , Running into a ditch is going to mess something up .

Sounds like the CV joint to me. Especially if it's a rhythmic sound when you're turning that follows vehicle speed. If that's what it is, have them replace the whole axle assembly. It's cheaper that way. Hope that helps! Jim

    There is a loud pecking noise in the rear driver side tire. It doesn't sound like a rotor, wheel bearing, or bad tire. Never heard this sound before.
