Default Popping noise when I accelerate

Yea, when I move my car forward, I hear a brief popping noise. I'll be at a complete stop, then the instant my car moves forward I hear that damn pop, and it's coming from my front right wheel I think.

Did I get something caught in my wheel or something?

Does anybody have any idea of what it can be? Thanks in advance.

I'd say ball joint,axle, or tie rod..Jack your car up and do a visual inspection on everything

Had a very similar issue with my 01, turned out to be the larger of the two bushings on the lower control arm. You should be able to inspect that bushing by looking thru the space between the tire and the bumper.

That is the compliance bushing. It is a very common wear item on this chassis (and is also discussed in the link provided above).

If you're not getting vibration/shock from the pop in the steering wheel then check your motor mounts.
