Angry Pop sound coming from the rear! please help

My brother just got a 00 ss with sub-frame connectors!
Everytime that he makes a right turn, there is a pop sound comming fron the passanger side of the rear of the car. what could that be?
I already checked the rear shocks and the are fine.
I just hope is not the rear end

Any comments on this will be really appreciated

OK, now I KNOW I sound like a broken record with this loose LCA stuff but bear with me. I'd bet money its your LCA, especially if the sub frame connectors you have tie into the front LCA mount which most do (I think). Give the bolts a couple of extra turns and let us know how it goes. Also, to help confirm this, before you do it try accelerating hard in reverse and slamming the brakes, then hard again in forward, etc. If it reproduces the sound then it probably is the LCA. But honestly, even if this test doesnt produce it I wold still crank on those bolts a little and see what happens. If it helps, just keep doing the test above and adding a turn until it stops.

Ditto on the LCA bolts -- Make sure they're torqued to spec.
