Popping and crunching sound
I’ve looked through the forums pretty well to try and find my answer but no luck. I’ve gotten close and think maybe it’s the sway bars, any time I turn the wheel for tight turns or go over a bump there’s always a crunch and pop sound. At times I can even feel it through the steering wheel, especially on cold starts. As an extra I’ve recently had the transmission replaced, perhaps maybe something wasn’t put back correctly?
Thanks for any input!

Re: Popping and crunching sound
For safety purposes, get that looked at by a mechanic RIGHT NOW.
May be a cheap fix but I would not diagnosis via internet.

Re: Popping and crunching sound
To me that sounds like either you front sway bar bushings or the top hats on your struts are worn out.
