Pop/Knock when going over bumps, holes, rough roads?

[Jr's Sho]

I will have the time to check my car out on Saturday so unto then, I would like to see if anyone knows what this noise could be caused from. It seems that going over bumps where the car goes up and down while rolling caused it to knock or pop loudly from the drivers side, right around the wheel area. But there are times it doesn't do it either. It almost seems like when the drivers side wheel hits a bump alone is when it makes the noise. Anyone have an idea? BTW, I have brand new SFB's.

Sway bar end links, most likely.

Disconnect one end of one of the links to test the ball joints for looseness.

If you replace them, I cannot recommend the ones from AutoZone. They only have a three month warrranty and I am only getting a little over a year from them. My next ones will be Moog Problem Solvers.

Mine just started doing that in the same spot also. I am suspect of the endlink (I have those cheap plastic ones)first or the ball joint (180K miles old).

On my car, the bar bushings (where the bar attaches to the frame) are only a teeny bit loose and knock loudly. I suspect the stock rubber has hardened and shrunk also.
I'd replace both bars' bushings front and rear w/ urethane.
