At low speed I sonetimes hear a popping sound at low speeds when the road is bumpy or uneven. I haven't been able to pinpoint the location, sometimes it seems like it is from the middle (top) and other times at the bottom. I'm thinking a bushing or sway bar??? Not sure. Anybody have a clue?

check the two screws that connect the strut bar to the firewall, right in front of your navigation display. them being loose is the most common reason for popping from the front/dashboard. every time the air filter is changed, the mechanics remove those screws and sometimes they don't tighten them properly at the end.

Did you find out what it is. Mine does it also. As generally I'm an Audi man, and they get the same thing, on them it's the top suspension bearing and buffer.
