Hearing a popping noise when car shifts or brakes. Have replaced brakes, cv axles and front hub, brand new tires. Also notice a rumble from the passenger side when turning hard left. Tie rod ends look like they may need to be changed. Do they pop? Tried pushing up and down on front end but could not replicate the popping noise. I think the only remaining things it could be are motor mounts, sway bar, tierod ends or lower ball joint. What do you think? Who are reputable to go to for suspension issues besides the manufacturer?

check wheel bearings may be the culprit. drive in a large circle one way listen for noise then other. if in rh cirle will be lh bearing. etc. also check fornt suspension components like a control arm bushing/ball joint. most any garage that does front end work can do this.
