Yeah Ill do some tests with someone in the driver seat and try to see if I can feel or hopefully see the pop in action. I had bad bearings on my struts last year and it was a much deeper noise and would click/ pop more than once usually after a big bump, but it could very well just be a...

Yeah I think the brake issue was just ice or snow build up, Control arms bushings are fairly new and still look good! I thought it could also be rack related but last time I got the pop I was leaning into the car only touching the steering wheel and felt zero popping in the wheel itself but it...

Ok got a video under the car but no noise. I did notice 2 things tho, 1, the steering rack seems to be flexing quite a bit on that one bolt there, was wondering if you know if that is normal. 2. the sway bushing on the right hand side looks to be open far too wide and the bar is moving a fair...

Oh could be... Had a bad bearing last year that caused spring bind and eventually would click constantly on turns, but for that a bump would always initiate the pops. I will mention I have a decently steep driveway curb that I turn left into everyday and never get the popping on that, or when...

ok another update folks... helped needed I followed what D60 said here After suspecting it could be the sway bushings since they were the only thing on the car that looked bad and fit the general location I was feeling for the pop. Anyway I began spraying the sway bushings with pen fluid also...

I will say the bushing seems ok with up and down movement, not much flex so I don't hear the noise over bumps, but this is the only thing on the front of the car that is not as it should be even if its just a CM of extra space it seems like a lot...

Potential update! So the part of Canada I am in was hit pretty heavy with snow the past few days, I have no access to an indoor garage so I was kinda stuck not being able to even jack my car up at the moment. so I booked a diag appointment with the dealer. Honestly I know its usually best to...

Ball joints were just replaced and fixed similar issues to the severe ones you were having... In the end I was left with this only a noise on wide or fast left turns.

Thank you this is great advice! The spray idea is genius I will def try this!

Axles seem totatlly fine, no clicking when turning or driving normally, just the single clunk I described. Boots arent torn and I don't see any leaking fluids.

Great thanks! and would that be where the subframe connects to the main frame/ body of the car or do you mean where the engine mounts connect to the subframe/ body? Additionally what do you mean by "go to the top of the range" In terms of torque or price sorry I don't understand... Thank you tho...

At work currently so I will try this again tonight but had read similar things so I have tried it in the past and I wasn't pulled in any direction... I will try again tonight tho to make sure.

The shop def has that kind of lift so I cant think of why they wouldn't have preloaded it... but they also forgot a bolt on my engine mount so who knows... And thank you for the advice on the aftermarket parts ill buy good name brand where possible from now on. I don't think its the struts...

Ah ok thank you! If I can recreate it, beyond explaining how I make the noise anything else to note or look out for that would be good to share on here afterwards?

Was replaced a few months ago with the engine mounts, I checked it out last night and it all looks good no missing bolts lol

Reputable manufacturer I believe so, most of it was done by my local shop who got me good parts, the other stuff like the axle and quick struts were done by a friend who is a mechanic and got his parts through work through a local part popular part store so that should be good. Same thing goes...

2009 Toyota Matrix XRS After numerous repairs to my car this past year, some of which I had posted here previously my big issue for noises over bumps and turns was my engine mounts. I still get the noise on turns obviously lol but beforehand it sounded and felt like a canon going off whereas...

Ok I’ll format better next time. And it means the rubber intake hose was bent in where i could see light through, half of the hose on still on the throttle. Car seems better but hard to tell as it has been driven a bit today so I'll leave it to sit and see what happens. While I appreciated your...

the word listening wasn’t really the point of the post, it was what I found which was essentially the throttle just exposed lol. Planning on doing a smoke test but it’s labor day in NA so nothing is open sorry if I rambled but I am just trying to provide people with the most information I can.

One more thing I just noticed when putting the strut bar back on and to answer @Kira the engine cover on is a ticking noise possibly coming from the throttle body, a constant click from that area, so I am hesitant to say it is without a doubt from the throttle but that is my best guess. to...
