Default Front end still popping.

Two weeks ago I installed Megan ez coil overs, Lexus Lbj and lower control arms and new upper control arms. I still have a poping sound when I put the car in reverse or when I go from park to drive.

Any ideas?

That was going to be my next choice. I will have to see this week.

I had this same issue. it turned out to be, amazingly, the brake pads. There is a fitment kit for them. Some ofthe pads are just a hair too small, and when you are applying the brake and the pad is pressed against the rotor they can be moved slightly in the caliper. This caused a clunking noise when pulling out of the garage and when shifting into drive.

i had this issue when i did my massive figs overhaul.....turned out to be that the sway bar end links were loose and causing a preload and then popping. since you just had suspension work done, look into all your bolts and make sure they all tightened down
