    ur just gunna have to look in the fender and have someone crank the wheel and see whats moving. or put it on a lift and look/feel for loose stuff.

    im get the exact same thing. only when i lock it left and turn at low speed. sound only comes from the front passenger wheel well. its a quick 'pop'. began shortly after the car was lowered and aligned.

    i saw a recent thread in the B7 forum, apparently a ton of guys there experience the same thing when lowered.

    Same thing happened to me. Good news is, it was one nut that just needed tightening. Bad news is I had to take it all apart because it was the nut that holds the shock to that top plate. After I tightened it, the popping went away.

    I remember the same thing happening after I lowered my car. I thought there was a thread somewhere on here about it, but I can't find it. From what I remember it wasn't a big deal.
