Hi everybody, i recently crashed my celica into a curb and had to replace the ball joint and the lower control arm on the right side. everything went well for a while but now there is a really loud creek/poping noise. it happens whenever i accelerate and come to a stop which led me to believe it was the cv axel going into the differential. but it makes the noise when the car is not running and i push down on the strut. i took it for a suspention inspection but they said they found nothing wrong with it. Any ideas? any help would be much appriciated.

Make sure the sway bar end links and bushings are intact and not bent or rubbing against something else...or the sway bar itself being bent. Another possibility is the strut was damaged and now it is leaking and going bad. Hope this helps!
