Popping Sound in the Front End

Tighten just about everything I can get to. The pop will go off when decelerating then once torque is sent, a pop occurs. I've taken the front end links off and to my suprise, the noise is still there

All 3 Damond mounts
SuperPro Control Arms
B14 Coilovers
Whiteline front sway bar kit w/ links

I just replaced the axle too and the noise is still there. I'm at a loss right now, driving me nuts

Suspension, Axle, what could it be?

Hola, did some work to my gen Juan and after a few months of driving, I noticed this popping sound from the left side of the vehicle.

The noise and feeling occurs when I engage the clutch (1 to 2, and 2 to 3) and when I turn the wheel slightly from dead center to the right or left (once power steering comes on).

I'm thinking it's a tie rod but I just recently replaced those or my end links but I tightened those not too long ago also.

Help a brother out, will post audio later.

Fan control module wires broken for a radiator fan motor?

2008 Mazdaspeed 3,

​

Pulled a p0480 Fan Control Module not working as it should and I was able to pull the part off but I'm unsure of how these wire connectors work.

​

For this generation of Mazdas, 07-09, the fan module is pre-wired to the fan motor. It looks like I might have had too much fun and broke the connector parts (module to fan motor) and I'm unsure how to reconnect the two.

​

Any help is good help, I appreciate it y'all!
