Popping Noise, ball joints?
I've been getting a weird random popping noise from my right front suspension general area.
It has no rhyme or reason to it, it only happens at low speeds, like in parking lots and such and occasionally up to 40 mph.
Everything is brand new in my suspension up front. Brand new upper A-arms with brand new ball joints, same with the bottoms.
When I jacked the car up it popped every time I pumped the handle until the suspension was pretty much unloaded.
Any ideas? I was told maybe the ball joints, but they are brand new.

I am going to check all of the nut and bolts this weekend, as I need to make some adjustments so the car can be aligned.
Everything up front is brand new, I just swapped all these parts out last month.
The ball joint were greased when I put them on the car, but maybe I didn't put enough in on this side.
Yea it happens when I brake sometimes, but only if it's hard enough to get a good amount of suspension travel. It seems to happen more if the suspension is unloading than when getting loaded.
