    POpping noise??

    Hey,
    whenever I hit a bump traveling at small speeds I can here a popping noise coming from the right front tire. It has been there since I got the car two months ago and ithought new coilovers would solve the problem. But they didn't. So like I said, it is only at low mph. When I'm on the highway or going above 45, I can't here it.

    So does anyone kno what this could be?? It's VERY annoying. Do u think it could be my tie rods or my ball joints? That's all I could think of. My brother also thought it could be the sway bar end links but we tested them and they seemed ok.

    Thanks for all the help in advance!! Any suggestions would be great

    My tie rod ends were loose when I get my EP3. No sound heard before it was repaired.

    I would say endlinks or balljoints. probably endlinks. try disconnecting the fronts, both, and take it for a spin, if its gone, problem solved.

    agree ^^
    - I say look for the endlinks first, then ur balljoint
    - also check ur upper mount on the strut where bearings are and replace the bearings
