I had a popping noise from the front left strut. It would pop when I slowly started going. I could also hear it clunking when ever I was driving slow. It happened after I switched to the lesser of the 2 camber adjustments. I also checked torque on all the bolts, etc. I looked up into the spring perch and noticed that they were not aligned correctly from when I installed my springs. They twisted from whenever I impacted the top nut on and didn't notice it. I pulled them apart, realigned the perch, and put it back together. Haven't heard the noise since.

I see you fixed the problem, thats good.....

On my Mini Cooper, I had this exact same issue. It was a motor mount coming loose, if anyone else has a similar issue, check you motor mount bolts.
