So last summer I installed some ST XTA coilovers. Got the car put together and aligned. Ran the car at an autocross event a few weeks later. Haven't had any issues with the setup. I've changed the ride height 3 times since due to switching wheels/tires and aligned each time afterwards. The car performed great at the event.
In the past couple of months I've noticed an occasional popping noise that sounds exactly like a giant spring being struck. It's coming from the driver side front. At first it only happened once every few months under no particular circumstance. Sometimes turning, sometimes hitting bumps, other times just seemingly cruising. Tonight it happened twice on the way to the gym. On the way home I was able to replicate it by doing a WOT 2nd gear pull and when I let off and weight transferred back to the front I got the same pop.
Anyone have any ideas what this is? Could a strut mount bolt be lose? This is my first set of coilovers and some people local are telling me it's just the cooler weather but that seems like an odd reason to me. I have Endlinks and a front sway to install so I'm gonna check over everything.
Visually everything looks to be in place. Any insight appreciated. I don't have another autocross event right now until the end of April. But I'm annoyed.
