Default 97 Making strange noises in the suspension.

Ok so I own a 97 Accord LX and I have had Tokico suspension on it for about 3 months now, and couldn't be happier. I got the set with Tokico springs and the blue struts, it lowered the car about 1.5" and the ride is awesome.


Now to my problem... every now and then I will hear a weird popping noise coming from the front end (kinda like a bad axle).
But its not a bad axle they were just recently replaced. The tie rods are good. So I am running out of options.

It also squeaks as well but only from the right front. I was thinking about getting a urethane bushing set to see what that does but really don't wanna shell out the cash if I don't have to.

I would appreciate any help on this topic.

Thanks, Dave

Check the ball joints before your call falls apart!!!!!! could be the CV joint too, but seriously the tire will like fall off and wreck your fender, it is vital to take that to a garage right, away.

check the springs make sure that they are sitting right and that there not moving around, check all bolts upper and lower of the rear shocks make you torque them down.

All the rubber is still there and the ball joints are fine. I really keep going back to the fact that it is worn out bushings. I hopefully will be installing the urethane bushing kit in the next week or so. Its Texas and its really hot here and I am lazy I will post back once I get the kit in to see how it worked.

Thanks for the help everyone!!!!!
