Re: hear a knock when i drive...

I wouldn't expect the wheel bearings to make that type of noise, however it is likely that a balljoint, outter tie rod end or strut mount is. My GTA had a popping noise in the front that was dry balljoints...previous owner never greased the front end. I've since replaced modt of the front end parts.

Re: hear a knock when i drive...

Is it popping just when you go over a dip or bump?
