ya sounds like a CV joint to me. Drive around in a parking lot and turn the wheel all the way to one side and listen, then turn to the other. I would also try doing it in R. If it is the CV joints you should be able to hear them making noises.

Thats sounds about right. CV Joints you might of had a tear in the boot got water in it and rusted out.

i just re checked it and it seems like its comming from the springs/ struts. also the popping noise occurs when turning the wheel. does this mean its the cv joint?

thanks

the popping noise is relatively normal
