Lately I've been noticing a popping sound coming from my front end on my 01 bullitt. Mainly the driver side wheel. It only makes these sounds when im about to come to a complete stop. And when I take off. Once I get to higher speeds the sound goes away. but like I said once im slowing down pressing the brakes it starts popping again. Any ideas of what it could be?

Have you lowered your car? With both my mustangs I had similar sounds due to lowering them without putting on new bushings and without cc plates. The strut wont be able to move properly without adjustable cc plates, so it adjusts while in the normal non adjustable plates. Or you could have some other issue

Yeah. My car is lowered. Im going to look into replacing the bushings to see if thats it. Last week as I was driving in the rain I noticed that the sound had gone away whenever I would stop. The bushings and cc plates seem like they'd be the problem. Hopefully its something simple like that though

Definatelly the struts mine does it all the time. It needs bushings.
