Popping Noise

Hey guys i have a question that invovles a popping noise that sounds like it is coming from my lower control arm. It usually pops when i let off the gas. It rarely does it when under power, but occasionally it does. I read and some say axles, some say CV joints, and others the lower control arm. I have already replaced the bushings on both lower control arms, helped for awhile but then it started again.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Check the sway bar end links. There was a recent thread.

I just bought some, moog. I think they were like $13 each, and VERY VERY simple to change.

Ok well my whole suspension is pretty much shot i think i will do the endlinks because there is a squeak when i drive on bumpy roads and a pop also. O ya i forgot my struts are shot also. Looks like i have alot of suspension work to do.

Replacing the hole suspension is a big and expensive thing to do, unless your filled with hundreds, then just take it to a mechanic, and have him/her check everything, if he/she thinks it bad enough to replace everything, then compare prices to see whats best.
