my POP

just thought I would share this.
for the past couple of weeks Ive heard a pop comming from the left front of my car, no unsual feel or anything really out of the ordinary. just a pop when I would take it from drive to reverse and vice versa.
This past weekend I crawled under it and was looking, I found a brake fluid leek on the same side. so I pulled the wheel off and there was my pop staring me in the face. the holes for the wheel studs are bigger than the stock rotors. dont really know what to think of this, its really annoying but not detrimental.
and just so nobody ask, F-body converson, and I had to helicoil the caliper where the banjo bolt goes.
 


The stock rotors have holes that are a little bigger than the studs, that isn't your pop. I'd check out your tranny/motor mounts if its just reverse/drive changes. I had a pop coming from the right side that was my motor mount under the same circumstances.
 
have you checked your control arm bushings? Especially the front? They rip and make a clunking sound in that cup when they fail...
 
well, when I saw and suspected I recuted help from my wife. and believe it or not that is my pop.
and yes I did check moutor mounts, control arm bushings, sway bar/end links.
I gave it a through once over.
thank you for the advice.
