Not unusual for the cars tires to catch ruts and cracks in the road at all.....Some tires may be better at going thru these than others, tho my Pirellis just LOVE to catch any imperfections in the road.....Remember, these cars were made in Germany where the roads are meticuosly maintained, unlike most roads in America...

The clicking and popping kind of noise has something to do with the exhaust/catalytic converters I think.....Mine does the same thing, I don't know exactly why it does this tho.....Maybe someone will chime in on it....
