I replaced my CAs and put the Vogtlands on in July any everything was great. Now that it is getting colder I am getting this noise sometimes just 1 pop sometimes 2 when I am backing out of my driveway and have the wheel all the way left.
My first thought is the top bolt on the coilovers not being tight enough. I didn't have an open end socket wrench so I did the vice grips trick. Going to try to tighten that up better this weekend and maybe loosen and re-torque the CAs while I am in there.
I know these are always tough. Doesn't seem to happen at speed. Any thoughts?

with regards to tools, wouldn't you say? C/O's or CV joint would be my guess. Invest in a socket set and tighten everything up 1st, will ya? ;^P

except for the top nut on the COs. I used spring compressors and got it what I thought was tight but you need to use an allen wrench to hold the shaft while you tighten the nut. For this i couldn't use the torque wrench (shaft would spin with the nut) so I held the socket with vice grips. This is why I think it might be the weak link.
I am def a minimalist but I at least have a good set of sockets and torque wrenches
