1992 coupe front end pop

[johnpbf]

I've had this weird front end pop that I hear sometimes when pulling out and sometimes hitting bumps for a while now. It sounds like its coming from the left side and it doesn't make any noise while turning. I was going to replace the stock struts anyway so while in there I replaced the spring isolators too but the noise is still there. Ball joints are good and everything feels tight.

Oh yeah, I have 1996 spindles on it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Outer tie rod ends can pop like ball joints if you have already confirmed ball joints are good. Put the front in the air and wiggle the tire left to right. If you feel a slight clunking, it's the outer tie rod end. Wiggle the tire up and down. If you feel any slack or backlash, it's the wheel bearing.

Check your sway bar endlinks. They can get loose and worn out and click or rattle sometimes
