If it was cold outside with precipitation, it could have been the a part of the right front area of the car getting frozen because of ice. That happened to me yesterday.
It could also be your wheel bearing... Do the wheel bearing test where you turn the car and see if you hear a bearing whine from the affected wheel.
Hope its just the ice...

Check if your brakes are binding to your wheel. Just had a problem like that that caused uneven wear on mine. Jack the car up and set blocks behind the rear wheels so you can take it out of gear. Then with the wheel off of the ground, try to rotate it. If it doesnt rotate then I would say you need to check your wheel bearing and then check if your brake pads are worn evenly. If your brakes are all even then I would say you need to investigate your wheel bearing

If you have slack in your steering that sounds like it might be a safety issue. I am certainly no expert, but something like that would be something you would want to have checked out as soon as possible. If there was such a long snapping sound sand after your steering was affected something has to be compromised and that might lead to a greater failure. Would hate to see something happen to you or your car that could be avoided. Hope you can get to the bottom of it soon.

No, not a brake stand. From a complete stop, apply full steering lock. Then slowly drive away. Do this on both left and right steering lock. If you get a loud snapping then it's your CV joints on the front halfshafts (driveshafts).
