Default whining noise from front of car?

I have a whining noise, kind of like when something isn't lubed coming from the front right tire area. It happens when I'm making a left turn time to time. I can't figure out what this is. Also, when I hit certain bumps in the road, I heard a pop/knock sound from the same area.

I really hate going to the shop and them telling me they can't find anything wrong and I've been twice. I've been two a reputable places here called Japanese Beetle and the dealership, and they said they can't find anything wrong, I'm tired of wasting my money, can anyone help me out here?
