I think Rodeorulz, nailed it. I know I had that popping sound while turning under low speeds (like backing out of the driveway). I never figured out what it was and it has not returned.

David, it you are experiancing that popping sound (feels like it is coming from under my feet), don't worry about it. If you think it might be the wheel bearings I would think you would be okay for 700 miles. If you want to see if your bearings are bad. Jack up the offending wheel and grab the top and bottom of the wheel and see if you can rock it back and forth. If you can't the bearing should be good. I would highly doubt you have bearing problems on a 01, but if you have over 75k then maybe, or if you have ever done deep water crossing (submurged the bearins in water) or offroaded in deep mud, then you maybe due for a bearing repacking (seeing that you have a 2wd I would doubt your doing much offroading, but that doesn't stop me!).
