Hi all,

First, thanks for any help you can offer or provide, truly appreciate any guidance as I work out this issue.

Just had a mechanic install new ball joints and change out my compression rod and control arm bushings to all White Line bushings, and the ball joints were from Concept Z Performance.

Now though...when I'm going over bumpy road seams or speed bumps, I'm getting a loud popping sound, like a quick urethane "creaking" or "popping" sound, and I can make the sound happen every time when I'm going slow and then press the brake pedal.

Any thoughts on which bushing is the culprit, or is it the ball joints? Ball joints from Concept Z Performance were new but they didn't come with a new "seat", so I'm wondering if that's the issue? Maybe the oem seat doesn't line up well with replacement non-oem ball joint?

White Lines aren't supposed to make any noise right? Or does it take a week to "settle" and then this should be self-resolved?

Thanks all, truly appreciate it!

There should not be a time to settle, they should be OK from the off.

That's what I thought but wasn't positive. Thanks for the help

I've touched base with the mechanic, waiting to schedule an appointment for him to fix this appropriately.
