Default Popping/clunking noise?!?

Don't know where its coming from exactly but its only on the front passenger side. It only happens when im turning and going at a low speed and when i come to a stop sometimes. Its a loud thud/popping noise. Im curious axle maybe???

My tuner said it could just be that my Tein Flex is dirty and needs to be cleaned cuz the springs are popping instead of sliding so imma get this a try...

you can also check your tierod ends. Just jack up your and shake you wheel to see if there is any play. If there is some play, its time for new tierod ends.

I had this problem too awhile back, it was my springs popping because I forgot to put my spring seats back on. Its been 3 years and havent heard a peep out of them.

It turned out to be the bottom lock ring for the suspension. I had just lowered the car and i guess i didn't tighten it enough and eventually it came loose. So i just use a punch and hammer to lock it in good...
