My car makes popping noises sometimes when I am steering. Could it be the axle, struts or springs?

Also, where is the trunk light located. All manuals state that a certain bulb is used but I cannot find where that bulb is in the trunk.

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.

The trunk light should be in trunk under the rear window. You may have to get on you back and slide in trunk to see it.
