The poping noise culprit is.......

[QUICKSILVER462]

Loose cradle bolts.
Most of the time driving slow and turning in parking lots and stuff, uneven raod surfaces going slow, and tight slow turns I would get poping noises from the front of my GTP. Turn out to be loose cradle bolts. Tightned all 4 of them, also tighned the factory braces under the hood. NO MORE NOISES!!!! YYEEAAAA!

What did you torque your cradle bolts too? Just curious...

Hmmm.... Mine's been unbolted 3-4 times. I wonder if that may be what's causing my problem.

ive got the same noise...where do i find the cradle bolts?

 

[DanGTP]

Mine were tight still...

They're the 4 large bolts that hold your lower cradle to the subframe of your car. There are two just inside of each front tire and two up behind your front bumper. You'll need an 18mm wrench/socket to tighten them.

if you have poly mounts make sure the edges are lined up right those lips on the edges that stick out to fit the mount have a longer and shorter edge...i didnt realize this til reading the MSP install on 3800performance.com...fixed mine now, one was in wrong hopefully thats my popping culprit if not cradle bolts are next...
