Hi everybody,

I have a XC 90 (143.xxx) and I hear a couple of plop plop sounds from front right wheel area when I am turning to left. That's only time I hear it. it does it only on the certain angle of the turn (most sharp point of the turn).

Any recommendation/ idea?

Thank you for your time in advance.

Do you have standard sized wheels and tires?
Have someone turn the wheel through its arc of travel. First, this gives you a chance to listen, then to see if it is hitting the mudflap or anything else. Then remove the wheel and look for any shiny areas that look like something rubbed, strut housing, fender liner, hoses etc...

It could be wheel bearing starting to fail, strut bearing, cv joint, tie rod end..
