I need help please, tranny or transaxle or what lo

Ok, When I drive I hear a noise. THe nose only happens when Im driving or if I jack the wheels off the ground and spin them. Also when I make right turns I hear a loud crackling noise and then it wants to pull to the right. Even at times when I am not turning I hear the noise and wants to pull to the right but mainly only when I make a turn.
When I jack the car up there is no play in the wheels like moving one way or another so I dont believe it is the cv joints but I might be wrong.
Sorry if that is hard to understand, I have a lot on my mind right now lol

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

That fact that your car pulls to the right or left really worries me. There are a lot of issues that this could be, CV joint (but it usually does not pull), wheel bearings, ball point, or even steering linkage.
I would imediately stop driving the car, especially if it is pulling.
The lack of play in the wheels eliminates wheel bearing and ball joint.

Check the CV joint by safely jacking the car up, grabbing the CV joint and vigorously shaking it just inside of the outboard joint. If it moves inside the joint, it is toast. Keep in mind the CV joint does float in and out of the transaxle (this is how you get it off).

Steering linkage? - I honestly don't know. The only way the CV would pull to one side is if it is severally binding and ready to separate. If that happens you will get sever damage to your car.

I recommend....bring it to a professional. Sounds weird to me.
