Question Stratus front-end noise

It's clear to me that many of us have other vehicles besides our mazdas. My wife has an '04 stratus and we're hearing a terrible popping/clicking/pinging noise coming from the front-end around where i guess the suspension is on the driver side. It is sporadic so it's difficult to diagnose. I've searched online and even joined a dodge forum for help. Yielded no results. Now i turn to my fellow enthusiasts. I've seen the problem can be "fixed" by the dealer for like $200. But in one case it turned out to be a temporary fix. The problem returned. Anyway it's driving wifey up the wall and it annoys me too. Not only hearing the problem but hearing her as well Tanks!!

Perhaps take it to a MR Tire, etc. for a 'check up'. They see a lot of suspensions and could put it on the lift and run/rotate/check it out thoroughly. Usually for 'free'.

Okay what is that (MR Tire)? I live in tx and not quite sure we have those just off the top of my head. Maybe San Antonio has 'em i suppose...
