Popping Noise

I changed the pads, rotors, and drivers side wheel bearing on Saturday and now when I apply the brakes I hear a popping noise. It definetly sounds suspension related. Any ideas what it could be?

Welcome to the site.

If the noise wasn't there before the work was done, then I would suspect an installation error.
Recheck your work. All the bolts and torque values. Betcha one got left loose.

X2, jack it up, pop off the wheel, and check everything over.

It's not in my garage, so I have no way to know. However, there is a link in my sig that may help.

I used a torque wrench to tighten everything down, but l'll take a second look tonight.

Does the sound occur when you hit the brakes or when the weight of the car shifts forward from the application of the brakes? (to help you define if it's a brake issue vs. a suspension issue)
