annoying popping noise

I have tokico struts with RB springs.
When ever I take a sharp corner or go over a bump at an angle, there is this loud popping noise from the front that people outside the car can hear from 20 feet away haha. I can also kind of feel it through the pedals. It happens on both sides of the car it sounds like.
I had a wheel bearing that was pretty bad, but it got fixed today and the popping didnt go away. I checked the bolts on top of the struts and they are all tight. I also checked the sway bar, and all the bolts are tight.

It seems like the noise has gotten worse lately.

Any ideas?

hmm idk.... Like if I come perpendicular to a speed bump it wont pop, but if I go at an angle it does. Wouldnt it pop all the time if a bushing was bad?

you never know, when you're turning, the stress on certain bushings is different that when you're going straight.
