Thus far I have replaced the front struts (with bearings, mounts and caps) and the dogbone (plus polyurethane bushings) and the subframe bearings have been sprayed with WD-40. I still get a popping sensation under my feet as I come to a stop after hard acceleration. Happens whether or not I am turning.

Any clue what that could be? Wheels check out ok.

Thanks.

typical things to check:
tie rod assemblies
ball joints
wheel bearings (I'm getting one of these replace now for a similar issue)
sway bar end links
sway bar mounts
strut mounts
strut bearings
control arm bushings

I have replaced all of the above trying to track down my problem. fortunately dealer did most of it in my last week of warranty, but they still couldn't fix it. basically they are incompetant. I had my local race shop work on it after I couldn't get it myself.

Bilstein HD struts. Dogbone was put in for free. I paid $55 for a new OEM dogbone, and $20 for polyurethane bushings, just to be sure.

Next step is to try to electric ears.

I did several upgrade while going through this myself

I had that until the dealer replaced an engine mount.

Which one?

gas & abruptly letting go in 1st gear. Very repeatable.
