    bad wheel bearing, or bad CV joint.

    Normally, I would be way off base with a suggestion like this, but considering your other post is regarding low oil pressure, you might be starving the engine for oil.

    Default I'd agree here...

    sounds like bad cv-joint on a rear half shaft.....

    Knocking, as in engine knocking, or popping, as in your cv joint is about the break off and throw your tire across the road? Please discern the difference if you can.

    noo i know its not engine its probably a cv joint at the back when i turn left and the car leans to the left when it lifts the back alittle it starts popping. but when i stop turning go strait, it goes away slowly reducing the noise. i checked cv boots they are not cracked.

    The cv joint sounds broken. Find a good honest shop, not a dealer, to replace it. It takes a bit of work and it's dirty as hell to complete it properly.

    And did you know that you don't use punctuation in your sentences? Instant Messenger is bad for you, Mmmkaaay...
