I get a popping noise in the front of my car when I go from reverse to drive or taking some turns fast. All bushings are present up front and in good condition. I just replaced my ball joints with Steeda X2s thinking that was the issue, the old ones were pretty bad, but it only made the popping worse... any ideas?

i get a poping noise too, but im running coilovers and have just accepted the fact that its probably my struts...

Tighten that cross bar that goes from one side to the frame to the other right behind the oil pan. It is mounted with two 15mm bolts. Make sure that the car is sitting on level ground and the load is on the wheels so that the frame is not flexed at all when you tighten the bolts. The best place to do this on is a drive on lift. Make sure you get it nice and tight. I would recommend a 1/2" breaker bar of ratchet. This happened to me before and is a common problem with these cars, but still seems to a mystery to shops and dealerships. I have heard of people replacing everything from ball joints to shock tower mounts to try to fix this problem.

Coilovers should not be popping, check to make sure your spring is actually sitting on its perch and not off of it

lols ty, car is undergoing a bit of change atm, chin has been swapped out and new rims are coming..

back to OP is it coming from the pass side? I know someone who had their whole front suspension overhauled due to a pop and still didn't fix it. I just devloped this popping sound after redoing my whole suspension with mm's grip kit.

I haven't been able to check the K-member area or any frame bolts yet but I can't really pin point what side it is coming from so I'll just have to see tomorrow.

Something to think about.....could be the steering rack. From my research this is pretty much a problem waiting to happen on every single new edge. Heres my thread/video on it and my fix source, credit to cliffyk the man. I did this fix and it worked brilliantly.
