Popping in front

Whenever I go around a roundabout or something I hear a loud pop from the left front. Any ideas?

Re: Popping in front

pops when going slow and turning are usually an indication of a bad inner tie rod. when my fox body had 1 going out there was 1 left hand turn that no matter what speed i took it at it would pop lol.
