Front end pop under braking
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 9:13 pm
Guys I've had this issue with the car for a while now. I knew my control arm bushings were shot, so I originally attibuted it to that, now I'm not sure.
When coming to a stop, doesn't usually matter if it's hard braking or not, I get a pop from the front end that I can feel through the pedals. It's sort of random, it doesn't do it every time.
Like I said, originally I thought it was my control arm bushings. I replaced those, and also had a bad tie rod end, so those got replaced, as well as the ball joints while I had it apart. I also have prothane sway bar bushings/endlinks, new tokico blue struts and Eibach pro-kit. I expected the problem to go away after the LCA bushings were replaced, but it hasn't. My last idea was that maybe I didn't tighten my endlinks down enough when I installed them, so I tightened them more, but it's still there. There's not much up front that isn't new, so I'm not sure where to go with this. Anybody have any ideas?
