I've heard other cars make this noise, and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is. When I turn at small speeds in 2nd gear (I haven't heard it in 1st or 3rd), I hear an intermittent popping sound at the front wheels. Anyone have an idea what it is?

If you have aftermarket springs or recently just did a strut job then it could be what he said above.

If not then its probably your CV joints. You need to replace if so

I don't have aftermarket shocks or springs, I'm getting those soon. What exactly are CV joints and where can I buy them? Sorry if it's a newb question but I have no idea...

CV joints are your axles. They go from the trans to the front wheels. You might want to take a look under the car to see what condition they look like they are in. If the rubber boot is cracked or coming apart there is a good chance you need new ones. I got mine from Les Schwab. Any automotive parts store should be able to order them.

make sure you tell him that it was working fine before and if he messed something up, he needs to repair it. i always tell them that it better come out with less problems than it went in with, otherwise why the heck did i bring it in?

He knew the ABS worked fine, the only thing he could do was put the old axles back, which I told him not to do b/c they were very badly worn. He said that if I want he can order a different brand of axles...I'm still deciding if I want the ABS back though

make sure he put the right axels in. Sometimes, the axels are different depending on whether the car has ABS.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
