The problem is with the rear linkages. I had these replaced under warranty and the popping sound is gone. Try that and let me know. - John (lenio2124msn.com) Replies to this message: smariel (Apr 15, 2009 12:19 pm)

Replying to: jlenio (Nov 19, 2008 7:41 am) Hello. Would you believe I just had my 2007 vette in the shop again for this exact same problem. You are correct, the problem is with the linkages. Actually on this service visit the technician replaced both front stabilizer links and the front stabilizer insulator. As my service rep described this repair visit... I have all new 2009 parts now for the linkages, sway bars, you name it, it's new. From what I understand this is more of a problem with the convertibles than the coupes. Hope your Z06 is doing well and you haven't had to go through a second fix like me. I hope this is the last time I have to have this particular repair done. Twice in a little over a year is ridiculous!
