Blowfish,

It has been said that the cradle bolts were not torqued to spec from the factory. Go ahead and put a torque wrench on them and tighten them to specs. It is possible that could fix your symptoms.

On the other hand, it is very common for failed strut mounts to make those same "knocking" or "popping" sounds. Check them out too.
