What kind of Pop and where is it coming from? I would check your control arm bushings and your anti roll bar endlinks to start.

Mines doing the same thing and the dealer told me it was my lower control arm. I hope thats what it is and its not the cv axle.

check the bushings in them. more then likely the rear bushing is toast. good reason to upgrade to spherical ones!!!
