When I turn I can hear a popping and grinding noise from the front end and sometimes going down the road at a low speed. When I drive at a speed above 50 mph I don't hear the sound at all. The mechanic says everything is tight and sees nothing wrong. What could it be?

I was told by a mechanic that the cv joints are fine. Someone told me that it may be the sway arm bushings. Is this possible?

Could be also lower control arm bushings. Hear it more on a left or right turn?

I hear it more when I take a right hand turn but it can also be heard sometimes whewn turning left or just going straight at very low speeds. You can sometimes feel it in the sterring wheel.
