I have a clunking/popping/rattling noise in my front passenger side wheel, especially bad when turning right or over bumps or dips in road, but quiet when turning left. Replaced a leaking cv joint and seal....and same noise. Changed tie rod end and same noise. Upper and lower ball joints seem to be ok. Sway bar ties and links seems to be ok. Could it possibly be a wheel bearing. Wheel bearing was changed about 40 thousand miles ago. Any input is appreciated.
 






start by checking your sway bar end links and bushings. it'll be real obvious if they're shot/broken. very common problem. easy, inexpensive to fix.
