about 2 weeks ago i noticed a small popping noise that at first sounded like a wire or something plastic bouncing around. now every time i corner hit the gas hit, the brakes, or hit big bumps i get this same noise but a lot louder. what could it be i looked and i didn't see anything loose. ive heard motor mount and ive heard strut. i haven't had it looked at yet.
 


u joints buddy tryed flooring it one time when he had that problem and broke the u joints and the place said when you hear that dont floor it take it to the shop fast
 
well i took it to 2 shops and they both said everything is fine....WTF! it still pops like crazy.
 


I got the same thing. I looked at the strut mounts. The rubber seems really soft. I have new shocks all the way around so I know it's not that. I bounced the front end up and down and noticed the strut center rod and cap spreading apart vertically from the rubber. I think that Timmsgtp is right.

I will let you guys know this weekend.
 
OK, got the shock mounts replaced, did both tie rod ends, and right side trans axle. So far Smooooooth!. I'll really know on this 2 hour drive I will be doing tomorrow.
 


alright so i feel pretty stupid. turns out the popping noise was the support bar over the battery. we took it off to put on the pulley and we didn't tighten it all the way so when my motor moved it would pop. Glad it was something simple. kinda stupid on my part.
