Popping/Marble sound coming from front right suspension
Hello all, somewhat an odd query
For several months now I've had a popping sound (sounds similar to a marble or solid tapping sound) coming from the front right-hand side of my car, specifically, it can be heard clearly from inside the cabin (probably at a 30-degree angle looking down from horizontal eye line).
Usually, the precursor for the sound is when the front right wheel is under load, so accelerating, turning on a sloped driveway etc. Numerous times I've taken off my wheel and examined, only to come up with nothing (at least to my eyes nothing looks too out of the ordinary), I've slowly started to replace ageing components such as the sway bar bushing and links in eliminating the culprit. My Jag mechanic suggests might be the suspension washer in the engine bay (it felt quite firm and tight last time I checked, not sure if anyone has had experience with an issue like that). Am at a loss, I've attached a photo of the car parked in the middle of the sound occurring for reference
