anybody have any input on a popping noise at the drivers foot area under braking? I have looked at everything, and cant find anything loose.... Ball joints and bushings are new, control arms are boxed.... Please help me get rid of this noise!!!!

Sounds like you've already checked the major suspension componets (ball joints, bushings, control arms, sway bar bushings, etc...)

Is the pop coming from the front or rear brakes. Is it inside the car in the pedal itself?

If it's the pedal itself, it may be the pins and rod connecting the pedal to the master cylinder push rod. Are they worn? Or, it may be the brake light switch or cruise control vacuum switch making a popping noise.

If the noise is outside the pedal, check for brake pads being loose in the calipers. I had a car do that before. Use a brake pad adhesive to secure the pads to the caliper if that's the case. You can get this at any parts store.

Also check the pins and bushings holding the calipers to the spindle. And, check the rear brake backing plate for grooves where the brake shoes rest on the backing plate. Worn backing plates commonly wear at those points and will definitely make a popping noise as the shoe is pressed over the groove during application.
