Default Popping noise + loose sounds coming from suspension

Hey, after i installed my Neuspeed sports i noticed that i would hear a popping sound when i would make left hand turns. Today I installed my KYB AGX struts and the sound was still a problem. BUT while i was installing the struts i noticed what looked like a the driver side sway bar bolt was realy loose.. i thought it was suppose to look like that but now i realize that this may be the problem??? Anyone ever expirience a loose popping like sound from the front suspension before when making left hand turns?

How much is your car lowered? My car pops also, they found out its my upper control arm banging against a lip under the fender.

They said its not a problem now, but Im wondering about later. The edge of it is all beat in and bent down, but it still pops on hard turns or going up inclines.

I had the same problem b4.. it turned out to be that the sway bar was loose. Just find the bolt and tighten it.

are you guys talking about the bolts that hold the bar in place in the middle or the bolt at the endlink?

i had the same problem, i had to notch the top of my wheel well and shave the tip of the a arm off but now i dont have ANY problems, my a arm goes right up in there with out touching a thing. i just used a plasma cutter...it only took me like 15 min.

For me it was the bolt at the endlink.. also see if the upper control arm is banging against something.
