POP! When braking hard.

Any ideas on what to look for? Comes from the front.

Front suspension is BMR K, Blistein Shocks, Eibach Pro kit.

Its a pretty loud pop i've looked under it a little and nothing jumps out at me.

Any ideas?

TIA
Brandon

Not really.. cant really feel it, maybe a hair in the steering wheel. The POP comes from the driver side front for sure.

I had a pop once in a while on a right-hand pull-out turn. (BMR k-member)

Ends up the k-member (to frame) bolts were torqued to about 35 ft lbs, I ran them on in to about 70 ft lbs and the popping stopped.
