Loud popping noise

[97GSTURBOA]

Hey, this has been going on for a while now; i just haven't got the time recently to do something about it until now. It's a popping noise i hear when i downshift and brake, usually hard, or mostly when i just brake hard. Idk what this could be, maybe a bolt is missing, could it possibly be the stock springs going out? Along with this when i hit bumps in the road or when the car is just shaking , for example a gravel road i hear a bunch of squeakyness around the back area of the car, could be the springs? Has anyone had that same problem ? it's frustrating and stressing me out.

Mine was popping until I replaced the toe arms. The bushing was so wasted that when I hit the brakes or turned hard the whole arm shifted about 1/4 inch in and out on both sides of the car. This was also causing a horrible wandering feeling while braking, and extremely loose handling at high speeds. (above 70 mph)

When you say toe arm, is that a camber or something different. I'm getting new springs and full camber kit tomorrow, should this help or should i take the car into the dealer or mechanic, thanks

Sorry for the slow reply but i mean the lower control arm that you use to set the rear toe. You will see a cam bolt on the inner end of it.

Those squeeks you hear in the back are the rear panels and could be the rear hatch as well is there any dust or dirt on the inside of the gasket in the rear hatch? Mine had squeeks in the back and i found that the dirt road litterally backed the screws out of the panels. Good luck
