I've searched a thread with the same problem but no one posted anything. I have this loud popping from underneath the front end when I either hit the brakes or accelerate quickly. It almost sounds like an axle when it is on its way out but it doesn't make the noise when I turn. It has been getting louder lately.
What could this be? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

could possibly be wheel bearings

Yeah I have same issue haven't looked into it though. I was told it's probably either wheel bearings or tie rod ends.

could be wheel bearings however they make a rubbing/grinding sound when they go. the tie rods could be your culprit if they are loose.

Probably a bushing /mount of some sort
I.E. motor mount or control arm bushings
My money is on control arm bushings.
Pretty common to go on this car.

yup.. do a search on "worn control arm bushing" or something like that and you'll find my thread. I'll rebuild them for $130/set if you want, or you can buy new ones from me or Brian. your choice.

The guy I bought the car from knew that both control arms were shot but only changed the driver side, what an idiot.
