Front end pop after control arm replacement
Good day everyone. Ive a question and need some insight. Ive recently replaced the upper/lower control arms on my '14 q5 tdi. I habe now developed a fee "pops" on the passenger side when reversing /turning. Nothing forward, nothing during turns. I used the Melye kit from FCP. Im thinking maybe the ball joints are dry? Any advice or insight would be great.

Did you have the pops before you replaced the arms?
If so could be axle CV joint.
Also the look at the sway bar bushings, known to make noise.
Easy to remove the bushing clamps, lube with some silicone grease, see if noise disappears, if so, replace bushings.
I always thought the Myle kit came with lowerball joints.
