For a couple months now I have had this clunk sound coming from the front end of my vehicle. This sound only happens when the car has been parked for a little while, and after reversing when I drive forward is when I hear the noise. After a few feet of driving forward I hear a single crunch/popping sound. I do not get any noise after the intial sound. Also I seem to have noticed occasionally from a full stop when I accelerate, if vigorous, there is what feel to be a very slight hesitation in the tires. This does not occur every time however. And it may just be a feeling that is in my head as it has seemed to just begin to happen, and only once or twice.

Okay thank you for your help. I took it to the dealership when I began to notice the noise, since its under warranty, and when he heard the pop he said it sounded like struts settling. But at 30,000 miles on the struts I feel that he was just bullshitting me.

It cold be struts but they don't settle if it pops from struts then it's something like loose or the top plate is bad doing it.
