Front end noise?

Ok so I've noticed when im in reverse and turning back it sounds like somethings popping or like a clunk type sound. and sometimes it sounds lke something is dragging on the grounbd but theres nothing underneath to drag. This also happens when i'm in like first and turning real tight...

Anyone know what it might be or what i should do? Its kinda loud/scary and embarrasing lol Thanks.

It doesn't happen in bumps or anything only when i crank the wheel hard to the right, And it varies on the clutch i mean i ride it a slight bit when i'm in like a parking lot so i don't just shoot out but it does it when pushing in and letting out...

Yeah, mine would only do it at super slow speeds.

Go open up your car door and jump up and down on the door ledge and see if you hear the links "popping" If it does that I almost guarantee that is the problem.

might be a wheel bearing. My car sounding like it had a flat spot on the tires, and clunked while turning or hitting bumps slow. Then its started grinding while going down the road.
