Recently my front right suspension has been making noise. It sounds like a poping banging sound like something is loose. It makes this noise under certain braking, hard shifting and over bumps. I guess whenever there is the right weight transfer it makes the noise. I was wondering if it is the CV joint, and how much its will cost to fix. How long can i wait before getting it fixed?

You can check if it's the CV joint/boot by just looking under your car at the boot where it goes into the hub. If it's cracked/broken, and making the noises, then you need a new axle. However, CV joints that are bad make the tell tale popping and clunking under turning, and sometimes under acceleration, not over bumps. Jack the car up, check out the boots. Also check the boot where it goes into the tranny. Sounds like it could be something else.
