Still noise from front

Ok, this is getting me angry b.c. i cant find whats wrong.

Ever since I bought the car, there has been a noise that when I accerlate from a stop, or come to a complete stop, the noise happens. It doesnt even have to be fast. Its a pop, like something is popping out of placae and then back in. And it only happens once I start driving, like if the engine is cold. Its coming from the engine compartment, and sounds like front suspension. Can tell EXACTLY where tho.

What Ive done:
The mounts where bad, and it made the same noise, so replaced those, and the engfine stopped moving and knocking around, but the once or twice little noise was still there.

Got new ball-joints, and got them resealed by the dealer. Still the problem presists. (<- is that a word?)

Also got inspection form dealer and mechanic. Mechanic said I need new back shocks, dealer said no. Still, its coming from the front anyways.

Today I got under the car and checked the whole suspension, and nothing. ALl the cv joints look good, and everything else looks good. Any ideas.


I then thought, maybe its the exhaust. Maybe the flex pipe is going on me!?! The WHOLE exhuast is rusty beyond belief, and Im replacing that next month anyways. Could that be it? I dont want to be killing my car or crash it. Thanks all.
