Whenever I brake at low speeds or brake softly I hear a popping sound. It will keep popping until I let off the brake or sometimes when I brake hard. The sound only comes fron the front driver side tire and only when I brake. It doesnt do it while driving. I just had the rotors and pads replaced 6 months ago and have only put on 2,000 miles on the new parts.

Sounds like it may be an upper balljoint issue or the upper control arm bushings.
