Default Poppin` sound when I`m steering

It`s a 2001 Mazda 323, second-hand, and almost everytime I make a left turn a ONE Popping sound comes out from the front right wheel area, and it pops again when i steer back to my original position. What could it be??

I have never seen a 2001 model 323 before, must not be from the US. But anyways, I would say it's a binding coil spring, Strut bearing plate, or tie rod end. If the car has ever been in a wreck, it could be the body flexing or damage to lower control arm.

more than likely your tyrod jack up the vehicle and if you can move the tire from left to right thats your porb. while you do that hold your hand on inner tyrod and see if you feel a clicking in it if not its your outer. but sometimes it is both

Could also be the tire contacting a loose inner fender liner or some other object in the fender well. If the noise happens even when sitting still then try looking up in the wheel well while someone else is turning the wheel to see if you can see anything touching when the noise occurs.
