Have a prob with popping on the front driver side. It doesnt pop all the time but when it does i have to stop and let it sit for a while and sometimes it stops. Sometimes I have to let it sit over night for it to stop. When I push the brake pedal it stops but when i release the brakes it still pops. I think the ball joints are still good, they don't move when I push on the tire to check them. I took the rotor and stuff off and put the tire back on to spin the hub and there is a tapping sound when the hub spins. So I'm thinking the hub is bad.

with the wheel off the ground you can check for movement with your hands at 12 and 6. if you have back and forth play, a good chance the hub assembly is shot.
