For the last 10,000 miles or so, I have been experiencing a single pop or clinking sound specifically on hard accelerations from a standstill (particularly after a hard acceleration and then a hard stop) as well as on right turns. I am reasonably sure this is coming from the passenger rear suspension, but I cannot hear it if the windows are up.
I have replaced the wheel hub/bearing on the passenger rear and verified that the others are tight and don't have any play. This sound has persisted through the install of new springs (BMR SP763) and Steeda shock mounts. I also have the BMR CB005 lockouts, but I cannot remember if the noise was present before the install of these. The 13 and 21mm bolts are tight, in any case.
I have verified multiple times that all of the suspension bolts (toe links, sway bar end links, LCA bolts, spindle nuts, etc) are tight on both sides. The bushings were clocked when the springs and wheel bearing was replaced. I had the car aligned today (because of the spring install) and the noise continues. If I take off gracefully from a stop, there's no noise, but if I get on it at all from a stop, there is a very noticeable metallic popping sound that is getting seriously annoying. Any ideas?
Thanks guys
