Help?

No video yet, I'll post one when I get a chance later today.

At low speeds, there is a consistent popping noise coming from somewhere in the front of the car. Only happens in gear, not while braking.
Car was also making some tire wear noises only on left turns from the right wheel. The popping noises are very noticeable. I'm concerned the front diff may be going?

What a pain in the ***.. I was enjoying a literally problem free car for a few weeks now, and then this came up out of nowhere. No changes from when the car was making noise and when it wasnt. Some of the noise has gone away after I took it for a drive, but I plan on going for another drive later on to see if it comes back.

Ideas? I'm taking it to a shop tomorrow, but I really don't have the time for this.

resolved! oddly, turned out to be the front struts being too loose - i installed it a year and half ago but I guess it worked its way out

happens randomly, straight or not. usually instigated by lifting off or pushing on throttle, typically during gear changes
