    I have a sometimes loud some times quiet pop in my front passenger side. Only happen when starting to turn right from wheel being straight. Can be from stop or moving. Any thoughts?

    It's an 08 sr5 dbl cab.

    Jack that wheel up off the ground and start tugging on it to see if you can recreate the pop.

    Any mods? Lift? Brakes feel good? BJ or wheel bearing have play in them? CV axle tight? Sure it’s the right side? Sounds can travel. Any work done prior to the noise? How many miles on the truck. There are a lot of threads about noises. This would be hard to diagnose over the internet.

    The truck has 175k miles on it. RWD. Just an old truck I bought to get rid of my payment since I work mostly at home these days. I alway wanted a tundra.

    I dont know alot about steering and suspension stuff. No mods that I know of. I just put new strut and brake pads on a few months ago. Didnt start popping till now.

    YouTube is your friend.
    The only one that's hard to do on your own is to check the rack bushings. To do that, have someone move the steering wheel while the truck is running in park, then you can look underneath to see if the rack is moving relative to the truck frame.

    The rest of the suspension components can be checked by jacking up a corner of the vehicle and tugging on the tire.
