Whenever I brake or turn I can hear a popping sound coming from the back. I think it is the bushings but I am not sure. Any thoughts?

Probably the suspension bushings, but it could be the diff. bushings.

Do you have stock suspension components?? You might have aftermarket ones.. which will be normal if you do.

If its stock, I agree with SpiccnmGT

Sounds like the suspenion bushings. It is very common on the FD. I would say you can get the aftermarket suspension parts but it can get pricey.

Just to help you out some more. Me and Herblenny were replacing our suspension bushings, and I noticed that most of my rubber bushing looked pretty good, but pretty much all my Pillow ball Bushings(6 total) need replacing, they all have play in them. I'm thinking this is where my clunking is coming from. I haven't got to drive the car because I'm not finished yet.

You may want to jack the car up and twist and shake the rear wheels, and you should be able to tell if it is in the suspension or the diff bushings by doing that.
