SOURCE: i hit a bump on

Sounds like your left front wheel bearing is going bad. When you make a right turn, or compress the right front suspension over a bump, it forces the car to roll to the left. This loads the suspension on the left side, which will exaggerate a wheel bearing problem. Are you hearing the noise at all when travelling on the highway in a straight line? If so, it'd be either a grinding sound or a hollow humming noise. If you aren't, it may be that the bearing is just starting to go bad.

A quick test to see if the bearing is bad is to jack the car up at that corner, grab the wheel at the top and bottom, and shake it hard - if there is any movement or looseness, your bearing is shot. If there is none, it doesn't mean the bearing is fine, but it could be that it's just starting to go bad (which would be why you only hear it in turns and bumps, but not straight-line yet).

SOURCE: Popping and grinding noise coming from the right front tire.

it depends if you have 2WD or 4WD, probably either your CV joints, or your wheel bearing, also have your upper and lower ball joints looked at, durangos are bad for those going out. 4WD could have additional problems, like transfer case, front axle bent, and other 4WD probs. i had a similar problem and it was my wheel bearing. buy it offline, not at the parts store, it saved me $140. compared to O'riely Auto Parts.

What could cause a grinding noise when turning on the blower?

It is the pressure release valve on the AC unit. The system is clogged so it's creating too much pressure and tripping the valve. Hoses and possibly more needs to be checked and replaced. Probably due to a sealant being used.

Squealing noise then tump when turning on heater 03 lincon navigator

Your AC compressor on the engine is the likely problem, either the pump is frozen up or the front bearing is frozen up, don't run the system or the belt will burn and fly off and strands you. Get this taken care of right away before winter. Have a local shop listen to the noise to confirm my guess as to the cause.

The blower for the heater/ac developed a loud noise after it was left sitting a few weeks. The noise isn't bad on speed 1 but the higher the speed, the louder it is. Any clue what this is caused by or...

It really depends what the noise sounds like. Is it a grinding sound? - if so, it could the blower bearings are faulty. If it's a whistling sound it could be just tree's leaves stuck in the ventilation pipes (was the car parked under a tree for any length of time during the Autumn or Fall).

Fast clicking noise from AC vent of 99 Honda Odyssey

Yes, your theory sounds right. You'll need to remove the blower motor or a cover on it to visualize the squirrel cage and remove whatever is causing the noise. In some vehicles there is a cover under the hood, which when removed, will allow you to inspect the blower housing. If no such cover, you'll need to remove the blower motor.
