Popping noise from drivers side front?

there is a popping noise coming from drivers side front end ever time i hit the gas a little bit hard. I jacked the wheel up and made sure it wasn't loose. I am not sure what it is?
thanks

Strut barrings,or A-arm bushings.

Definitely in the front suspension. Try having someone lift up on the fender while you pinpoint the noise. Could very easily be the A-Arm bushings like IROC-T said. Good luck.

I would check the front sway bar bushing. Also check the motor mounts. Could be the pitman arms also as I had to replace one.
