Default Front Suspension Creaking and Popping!!!

Removed both front knuckles to replace wheel bearings on 2008 Honda Civic DX/G.
Reassembled with no problems.
Now have squeaking and popping noise from right side?
Any help would be appreciated.

Check the top hats for the struts, also check if you have any loose bolts that connect the strut to the spindle.

sounds like you have a problem.... lol.

double check your reassembly. maybe somethings loose, not fully tight, like an axle nut or balljoint nut. im not being an *** or condescending, but there was a change, its the most likely culprit, or at least the first thing to look into than assuming everything went together fine.

check balljoints by jacking the wheel and pulling up. and moving the steering wheel and putting your hand over each balljoint, if you feel any play it needs to be replaced.

what made you think of replacing the wheel bearings in the first place? and 10 years is about right for replacing balljoints anyway, why didnt you replace them in the first place? while the knuckle was already apart...
