Lately I've been having a popping noise in my front end. Happens randomly and usually a couple times in succession. It almost sounds like the motor backfiring or something, but it's not. It happens when I brake sometimes or when I'm rolling along. If anyone has any suggestions on what it might be I would appreciate it.

From where exactly. Any ideas? Could be suspension wise or is it dealing with the motor? Maybe a loose bolt on the struts.

It sounds like it's in the left side front, right in front of the steering wheel. definitely sounds like suspension. I'm thinking my struts are bad.
