Pop when braking as well as left turns.

I just got my car lowered a few days ago so it has had some time to settle. Ive searched the forums and found a lot about this issue but no conclusive solution.

Anyhow, it only pops when I brake at lower speeds and make left hand turns. It sounds like its coming from the left front tire. I have no idea what it is. Im going to have a flywheel installed at the dealer tomorrow and im going to ask them to just look at it. Hopefully they'll know what it is and fix it. I will keep everyone informed.

Since your car was just lowered it may be bump steer. Did you get an alignment?

There's a service bulletin that deals with that very "problem". I'll search it out for you.

Thanks.

I found out from the dealer that one of the bolts connecting to the control arm was loose and everytime i applied my brakes it would rock back and forth.
