Help Loud Popping Sound

Sup guys...I just recently lowered my DA on some tein s springs and installed some gabriel struts as well. A few weeks after the installation my car makes a popping sound whenever I turn. It sounds like something popping into or out of place. It comes from all 4 corners of the car, not at the same time, but it happens on all 4 corners. Sometime it will pop once, sometimes twice. I have jacked the car up, cant see anything visually wrong. Anyone have any ideas? Theories? I feel the car is unsafe and want to get it fixed asap.

Double check all ur mounting bolts for tightness. After that look at ur munting area n see if there r any stress marks r cracks. It sounds like ur body is tweaking n turns.

When I put my camber kit on after a couple of weeks it started to squeek and pop when I would brake or turn hard. I found that both upper a arms were missing the nuts on one of the two bolts. I was furious. I had them professionally installed. I haven't called Skunk2 yet, but I plan on giving them an earful...

if you find out that your bolts and nuts are loose i suggest going out and buying some loc tight and putting on everything you just installed. be your safest bet so it doesnt happen again...lowazzteg if you had it professionally installed i would go to the people that installed it not skunk2 and tell them to fix it. they should have put loc tight on it to begin with. just saying that might get u work done for free
