    My daughter just bought this car and it is making a popping, grinding noise
    in the front end. I suspect a C.V. joint or a wheel bearing problem.Does
    anyone know how to better tell which one it could be? Your input would be
    appreciated.

  2. No vibration in the steering wheel and/or under the hood? How many
    miles on the car?

    The first place to start would be to list the circumstances under which the
    noise occurs. Noises from different sources occur under different
    conditions. I will say that popping doesn't sound like a wheel bearing.

    Many thanks to all that replied. I kind of think myself that it may be a
    tire or an alignment problem. The car has 62,000 miles on it.So it is just
    out of warranty,for a second buyer.I am going to try rotating the tires and
    get it aligned.It is a great little car for a young student. Hopefully that
    will cure the problem. If anyone has any other suggestions about anything
    else that I need to watch out for on this car I would greatly appreciate
    any information that you can give me. Thanks again to all.
