Whenever I hit a bump I have a rattling noise and every once in a while I hear a popping noise. Do not know what it is. I have had people look at it but they do not know.

Check the front sway bar bushings. There are four of them, two on each side. Over time and miles they get hard and noisy even though they are not loose.
