Every morning or when the engine is cold and I start my car I get some unusual clicking/ popping noise coming from under my left front tire after I start driving for a while it goes away but I dont know what it is but it sounds like it needs to be fixed. Anyone have any idea what it could be.?

Question. Is it comming from the tire or the from left side of the engine compartment? Does it only happen when your driving? Or starting+ driving?

It doesnt sound like its coming from the engine more like under the left front tire I think its something in or on the axle of the car but usually when the engine is cold and I start it up it makes this rattling / vibrating sound.

Could possiably be a problem with a line running to your caliper if it happens when you pump your break. A blockage of some sort. Wish I knew a bit more so I could help ya out more :( Im currently in the process of replacing my entire break system on my 03 eclipse
