Another source of popping can be the bushing "pocket" where the rod for the front suspention connects to the subframe. There are 2 of these....and you see them from the front underside of the car. One is right by the oil filter....you will see 2 large nuts...and the threaded ends of the round suspention.....facing forward.
The solution is usually to have the bushing mounts welded to the subframe.

WisWind, and others
I had this piece come loose on my 93 Taurus. There was clunking going on. I took it out and took it to the Ford dealer. I didn't know it wasn't suppost to come out of the subframe. The dealer didn't have a clue what I had in my hand. I too had mine welded in.
