Default Popping noise on bumps

Hey everyone my issue that I am having is that I am having a loud popping noise whenever the car is turning at an angle. i recently put coilovers back in my car but I experience the same noise when I was lowered on springs...

anybody have any idea what suspension part could be causing this issue?


Also whenever I go over bumps with the wheels facing straight the problem is non existent... The only time I hear it is when it is at an angle even on slow speeds...

I don't know if it applies to the 2IS but on my 1998 GS300 I had this exact issue and it was my lower ball joints on their way out. Sounds like you are turning on 2-3 lil rocks on the road slowly.

That happened on my VW Golf. Turned out to be the front sway bar links.
