Popping noise from Front Passenger wheel Area

[sbodane]

Need help..I got in to my '95 Eddie Bauer 4x4 Explorer this morning to come to work and noticed that there was a popping noise from the front passenger wheel area. I noticed the noise in the 25 to 35 mph range. After 35mph, the noise subsided. Also, when travelling I decided to get up to 80mph, but backed of after vibration. I do not know if these two are related, but I need to know about the popping noise. I can's decide if it is a hub or ball joint. Please help.

Does it pull to that side?

Sounds like a Ujoint in the Rt Ft Axle to me.

Auto locking hubs or manual? Im guessing Auto since its an EB.

Could be something wrong in the hub.
