Popping Noise

[controlledchaos]

I changed my struts with spring, cv joints, control arms, balljoints, and linkages with a mevotech kit 10756. Since then on take off and stopping I can hear popping on both sides which sounds like struts. I can not recreate the sound by several of us pushing up and down on either side. What could this be?

Did you replace the joints or the entire axle? and what brand did you use? I recently replaced both front strut assemblies with FCS. Drove for a couple of days and then realized the driver side cv boot had split during the strut install, so I replaced the axle with a cardone. I then started getting the same popping you describe when the weight transfers on start/stop, but only on the driver's side. I also replaced ball joint, sway bar link, outside tie rod, etc just because they needed it, but the pop is still present.
