Popping noises
My 2013 BRZ AT, has about 56k miles on it. And now I am hearing loud popping near front suspension when turning slow and under center console when taking off hard. Any ideas...?

You sure it's the front?
Sounds to me like you are hearing the rear axle nut. It's common when turning at low speeds and taking off. You can try re torquing it, or buy a new nut. By the way, any suspension upgrades or what nots?

Stock? No incidents?

In addition to the above questions: * does the front end pop when turning both directions .. ?? * does it pop if the car isn't moving, when you turn the wheel .. ?? * have you hit anything hard (like a curb) lately ..?? * any recent tire rotation, alignment .. ?? I suspect the sound under the console is unrelated, but not sure. Come back. humfrz |

Only mods are wheels and tires, Borla cat back,
Popping under front happens when driving slow, turning both directions,and hitting potholes Yes the noise under center is unrelated, I can feel it in the E-brake handle during take off and hard acceleration. No accidents since I bought it.. so none in last 16k... |

Any spacers used on the new wheels .. ?? Lug nuts all tight .. ?? You may consider jacking up the front and moving the front wheels to see if you can detect any movement .. ?? (loose steering links; bad wheel bearing) Maybe it's time to take it to an alignment/front end shop for a look see .. ?? As far as the noise under the center, you may wish to make sure the transmission mounts are all tight. Please keep us posted. humfrz |

My car has recently developed this same popping within last few months, definitely on the front drivers side. Only at low speeds and more so when reversing with large turn angle (driveway).
Just had dealership servicing and popping went away, briefly,. Now it's louder. Dealer said they couldn't find issue. I have to go in and take a spin with service tech next week �� Bone stock car. Steering and suspension feels great when at speed. |

I had the same problem when I first bought my slightly used 2013 (10K miles); dealer ended up replacing the front strut bearings under warranty.

Mine had a pretty loud one coming from the front, driver's side wheel area, just three days ago. I was turning left very slowly, but also at a very tight angle. It was so loud I heard it inside with both windows up and the A/C fan running just below 50%. Thought either something penetrated the tire or I crushed something not-so-small, but found nothing afterward.
I'll be changing my tires in a couple of months, so I'll ask them to take a look. Please keep us posted. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk |

I'm also getting the same thing. If we had front axles i would say it was the axle nuts... I had one in the rear go and this sound is different. At first I thought it was something with the brakes.. but its not. Not sure whats going on yet.
