Really weird "pop"
My car just stated making a really weird pop. It apparently occurs at low speeds (20-30mph), but not while turning and there is no clicking sound (so therefore probably not CVs). The best I can compare the sound to is the sound of someone cracking their nuckle, but lower pitched. The pop comes from the front, possibly the right side. It will occur randomly while driving on a flat road, and slightly more likely if I hit a bump. I just put on different struts that had been sitting around for a couple of months. Could the sound be from the strut moving after sitting for so long?

Did this happen right after putting the struts in?

I may have a similar noise. How often does this happen?

I bet I have the same noise. Unfortunately my car is in need for a part so I'm not driving it this week. I'm driving my dad's SVX now and his doesn't make that noise.

Was doing it more often again today (it's colder out, maybe related?). I retorqued the wheels and put a lil more air in the tires, tomorrow I'm rechecking all the bolts. If you figure out what it is, let me know.

Last time I had this problem it turned out to be broken strut mount. You can check the front ones easily... the rear ones not so easily but not too bad.

try and compare this "popping" to something else. Like another sound or something. Maybe i have an idea of what it could be.
