when i was back home, i was visiting a friend at a gated community at night , and i rushed to get through the gate and my left front tire hit a small curb. ever since then , every now and then, when i brake a long distance as i slow down from high speeds , i hear a popping sound from my left front tire area . any ideas?

check the pads, rotor, caliper, springs & shims. single or multiple pops? at the least, id say one of the above components is damaged. sounds like a pad is kicking(moving back & forth in the caliper)

Try taking off that wheel and inspecting your brakes and a-arms. Shake your wheel before you remove to check wheel bearings. Take a screwdriver and prod around your brake pads and rotor to see if anythings loose. Could be just rotor heating up against hub.

whats up i had the excellent comparable challenge with my automobile. IT'sa rapid and challenge-free restoration. you have shot brake rotors. Does the steerage wheel vibrate quite perplexing? if so you have shot rotors. it fee me 80 5 greenbacks to alter them and no challenge. so in simple terms have ur dealership or a automobile lot verify it out.

probably broke the arm or axle...my best guess is that its not the brakes...
