My 1997 Geo Tracker sdtarted making a popping/clicking sound today when I pushed the gas. Then it startede making a noise like I scraping metal on the pavement. I got out and looked bu did not see anything hanging down. The noise is worse when I was starting to take off and got better when I went faster. I also noticed that when I was driving the wheels felt very loose. The noise only happens when going forward and not in reverse. When I tried to puul forward it felt like I had vbery little control over the steering part.

Can't tell from here but apperantly one or more parts to your suspension or brake system have failed, sounds more like brake or wheel assembly or trans axle to me. Take the front wheels off and have them checked out before driving again.

91 geo tracker died while driving cant get it started again

when you crank it, do you smell fuel? if you do, you're getting fuel so try replacing the distributer cap and even the plugs. if no gas smell, the fuel filter needs changing or the fuel pump is bad.

When I was driving my 1996 Geo Prizm at around 25mph, I heard a popping sound and then the grinding started like it was rubbing metal to metal. When I turn to the right, it sounds louder. I had the brakes...

CV Joint went out. since it gets worse when you turn right it is most likely an inside drivers side CV joint or the out side passenger side. The popping sounds was probably the dust boot popping from pressure build up which should make it simple to locate since you just need to identify the boot with a tear in it.
