everybody's so friendly and helpful on here i appreciate it.
i have a question, i have my gs lowered on tein HA's, replaced my ball joint a while back and checked the other day seems fine, but at certain times when i turn i hear a loud pop sound and cant seem to figure out what it's coming from?

is it a sign that my ball joints are failing again? or tie rods?

I would venture a guess of it to be the lower suspension arm no 2 AKA caster arm.

The rubber bushings tears over the time. Mine was almost ripped out of 1 arm and the other side had a crack all the way through to the other side.

I get a loud pop as well when I drive over payment that has weird angles (such as parking lots with drainage/gutter down the middle) and when i reverse the car with the wheels turned (like reverse parking). Mine is pretty loud, I can feel it through the steering wheel. Sounds like its coming from the front lca #2 (castor) arm.

Once it pops, it doesn't pop again until I drive away or onto another surface.

I do have Fig's 3 piece castor arm bushing which is designed to give adjustments to caster/camber. Wonder if that is how its suppose to work.
