Question wtf body noise?

hey guys i have some thing that is bothering me and i dont know if it is dangerous. i was haveing a poping noise coming from the front drivers side when i would turn left and hit small bumps when turning at low speeds like in to a parking spot and i thought it was a ball joint or a tie rob so i droped it off to a specialty shop that deals with suspension and front end stuff. and he looked at the car and he could not find any thing wrong with it.
he asked if the car was hit before and i wasent so i said no but i told him the engine was replaced about 8-9 months ago and he said it could be noise from the cradle.
so what the hell is it lmao?????????????
really need some help guys im a little scared to drive it.

I had a similar issue and found that I had some sand and grit between the clamp the holds the swaybar bushing to the frame. A little WD-40 and loosening and re-tightening and the noise went away.

Jack the car up, using jackstands on the front. Start prying on the swaybar and see if you can find the noise.
