Re: Front left tire popping noise when turning
Based on your description the part your are describing is the strut. It is possible for it to bind when you turn the wheel due to a bad mount or strut bearing. You need to take the car to a repair shop and have the strut removed to check it. It is also possible that the spring is not seated properly on the strut and that is causing the problem. It the strut is bad and needs replaced then you will need to get it realigned once the new struts are on. It will cost about $250 for installation and alignment. Most of the chain stores can do this for you if they have to be replaced. I don't recommend that you change struts yourself. Have it checked first to see what the mechanic thinks the problem is but per your description that is where I would start. By the way the 99 Grand Am's seem to have front end noise problems, I know of several with similar problems.
