Loud single popping sound

[Boosted98gsx]

When ever i accelerate or decelerate at a semi fast rate, i get this single popping sound coming from my front drivers side wheel (or so it seems). Anyone have any ideas on what this is?

Your flux capacitor is warped. Rub it down w/ vasoline and wait two hours.

I've never heard of something like that happening. Might go and have the suspension checked?

hey! mine does that too, except it is the passenger side front wheel. Do you get any funny / bad sounds if you corner fast, (for you in a left turn.?) If i take a right turn really fast, i get this god awful noise.. Maybe a ball joint gone bad.?

i dunno man, i never really noticed it makin noise when i turned corners. just when i started accellerating.....CLICK and decellerating...CLICK Get's really annoying and i dunno wtf it is

If its clicking its one of your CV axles for sure. Get under the car and twist the axle itself. If it has a hella lot of play, time for a new one. The clicking while turning is a dead giveaway.

Check your swaybar bushings. They may have deteriorated, causing your swaybar to push against the metal bracket.

Check your swaybar bushing or check your ball joints.

Good luck

I had the same thing that you do, and no-one had an answer. I got it when I put on my RRE Upper Front Strut Bar.. I loosened the strut bolts, and bounced the car up and down. Retightened the bar, and the sound was gone.. If you have done any suspension work lately, I would look at this.
