Popping from front left corner
My car just yesterday starting popping from the front left wheel area when I turn. It does it even at a stand still in neutral both left and right. I don't really notice it going over like 20 mph. I've got megan coilovers but otherwise stock suspension. Any ideas what's going on???
thanks,
thanks,

I am having the same problem. I changed my tires and had an alignment done and then the popping started. The car is stock. A friend of mine said it might be the strut mount but I am going to take it to a Mits Mechanic to see what they think.

I doubt it's my struts. The megan coilovers have been on less than 10k. It's sounds more like metal binding, but I don't know how it could be the springs. The car is not slammed down or anything.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT THING AS WELL...put snow tires on (still stock suspension 58k miles) and it makes a low popping noise intermittently when making left turns extremely slight all the way to lock but nothing when wheel is turned to the right...when going straight i hear it sometimes if wheel is a little leaned left....alignment place said its possibly sway bar bushing?

same thing here too. i have tein coilovers and 25,xxx miles. its sounds(and feels) like a thunk when i turn left slowly. dont notice it when the car is in motion. mitsu mechanic told me it could be a loose nut/bolt on the subframe. would really like to hear what it turns out to be with everyone elses car.

wow, this seems to be a much more common problem than I expected. I'm planning on getting the car up in the air and removing the wheel to see if I can isolate the sound tomorrow.
