98 honda accord makes a popping noise on front driver side

Have your brakes rotors checked. Sounds like they need to be replaced. Do this or you may have to have them turned if they begin to groove

I think it is the control arm they can make thumping and other strange noises coming from under there when you hit the brakes and let them off while your driving. What it does will range depending on how bad they are. The car may also pull to one side.

Sounds like the brake pad wear indicator tab on the inner brake pad as the pads sometimes wear out unevenly due to stiky brake calliper slides. You would have to remove the wheel to inspect it.

check your cv joints

try coating the back of the brake pad with copperslip grease....anti squeek grease...

Usually the strut bearing will make this noise upon turning a corner and hitting a rut or pot hole when turning. A wheel bearing will make a low pitched whinning sound constantly

better check the outer cv joint,

It's the brakes wear indicator telling you that the brakes need changing.

its probably your sway bar end links, I had the same problem, I replaced both sides and the bushings and no more clunk noise

you need to have your brakes checked on the front and also have them check wheel bearing on that side. when a car sits overnight in humid conditions the brake rotors will rust over lightly, that normally is removed off of rotor after first brake application. it shouldnt do it after you keep driving. abs does make noises though when it is working, sliding, so I would pop my hood and check for abs computer. It has brake lines and electrical connection going to it. Im not saying its bad but just look at its location and see if the sound of it functioning/location seems to make it sound like it is left wheel
