There are a number of threads discussing various noises, but the noise itself is not easily conveyed to others;

Find the video clip below. ST (KW) coilovers, Hotchkis swaybars are the likely suspects. The inner swaybar bushings were lubricated with synthetic grease ~2 weeks ago. I had the same noise last year about this time, I suspect given we are hovering around 0C (32F), the (lower) temperature is exacerbating the noise. However, it is present to much less a degree through the summer.

I'm hoping others have experienced the same noise:

That would drive me nuts. Ive done the sway upgrade and coilovers are coming quick. Yikes.

Hmm, hard to tell in that video, but i have the KW2's and Hotchkiss sways, and Im hearing some kind of clunk or popping noise whenever the wheel is tunred or turning the wheel. I can sit in my driveway and just turn the wheel and hear the clunk. Pretty much seems like the noise if from somewhere in the strut, or the lower control arm, ball joint, maybe tierod ends.. They seemed ok when i had it on a lift
