Ok so here are the symptoms.. steering wheel jerks, right side bounces when driving, right side tire makes pops and cracks when turning right...

It just happend while mudding tonight, i drove it 15mph the whole way home.

I know the shocks are cheap so that might be part of it, and reading on the net alot of sites say check the steering linkage

I was wondering if someone new the problem or if someone new a good car care place to get it checked out (that wont try and bullshit with me)
 
Would help if you said what kinda car/truck/rig you are talking about

BEaring exploded
Wheel comming apart
Rotor broke
lug nuts loose/broke
Belt in tire broke

Just a few to look at

Well, I'm not sure about the pop and cracking but the stuff I left is easily explained by mudding. It sounds like you have a few lbs of mud/rocks trapped in the wheel. Get in there with a hose and remove it until your wheel is balanced again. It's also possible that you lost your wheel weights and need to have it balanced again.
 
more than likely, the jerking and bouncing are from mud packed up in the wheel,

the grinding may be from tearing the boot on the CV axle and packing that full of mud and crud. you will like replacing that
 
you might also want to take a look at your tie rod. I know I bent the holy hell out of mine on some rocks in SD and good god that was a fun ride back home. The popping and cracking is more than likely a cv joint if equipt, and just as blkvoodoo those are a joy to fix.
 
on the worse side of things, my buddies truck was doin that and the wheel bearing siezed. did i spell that right? was on the way back from a night of mudding. he had to replace the hub.
