Weird popping noise after clutch install

OK every since i got my new clutch installed i now have this weird somewhat quiet popping noise whenever i go over a bump or even somtimes when turning. It seems like its coming from under the front of the car.... I would just take it back to the shop but im out of town for another week. Any ideas on what it could be?

make sure all the bolts are tight. remember they have to remove the subframe to install it. they might have left something loose

I've heard a few stories of the subframe bolts not being tightened down properly after a clutch install...or not even put back at all.

Depending on how this sound you describe actually sounds, it could actually be a sway bar end link...had this happen on mine. It makes a quiet thump in the beginning and it'll gradually get louder and louder
