When the strut bearing ( on top of the strut ) goes bad it will make a clicking, popping or cracking sound as you turn the wheel. Does this sound like what is happening?

If you are into doing it yourself, the parts should be available at most autoparts store. I have replaced these in foreign and domestic vehicles with same symptoms. Not super easy to pull strut assembly but not technical either. Everythings metric.

you will also need an alignment, a spring compressor, and the bearing only goes on 1 way

Ed good job on this 1
