here's the deal.... there are loud popping sounds when i apply my brakes, after my car comes to a stop and the front end settles back up, when i back up and when i'm up the 1 inch lip up into the garage.
i can back up 2 feet, hit the brakes... it does it every time. move forward 2 feet same thing.
here's what i know it is not:
brand new polyurathane control arm bushings, upper strut mounts, brand new tie rod ends. Ball joints are in good shape as i inspected them when i did the bushings. the clips are in place on the brake pads, so it's not those moving back and forth.
possible culprits:
struts - at least 4 years old.. they are motorcraft so it's possible, but not probable that they could be the original struts.
or it could be the brakes but they are in good shape.... so it don't know.
would phucked up struts cause this kind of noise?
thanks
