Front Wheel Hub

Ok Guys I have a question to ask. I took my car to the dealer and complained about a popping soung my car was making when I turned right like going up a driveway or such. They told me the passenger side hub was loose and it needed to be tightened and now it was fixed. I drove it one day and it was popping again. I had the car inspected at firestone and they drove it, heard the pop and said that the strut and strut mount was bad. I took it to another dealer to have it repaired since it is covered under my warranty and I explained that the other dealer said it was a loose hub and they told me that was interesting since the hub dont have a bolt to tighten it. Is this true? if so I am going to get my money back from the other dealer that lied to me and get my money back. The dealer I just took it to said from what i described it also sounded like a strut problem. Please let me know i am so upset with that other place

There are 3 mounting bolts and an axle nut that hold the hub on/in.

I was getting that very same popping sound before I replaced my front hubs.

I took to a different dealer and the strut and strut bearing is bad and so is the intermediate shaft. I have extended warranty and of course they are sending an inspector to go look at it.
