Popping Sound
Hey everyone,
I'm a relatively new 997.2 owner (S, 6MT, 56k miles). Been lurking around a bit and meaning to post an intro, but I've been busy this summer. So hello and nice to meet everyone!
I e noticed and odd popping sound and a hesitation to move on a few occasions. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car. It has only happened a few times and seems to happen after the car has been parked for a while. Basically, I'll turn the car on, let it warm a bit, and then engage first to move forward. Instead of moving forward like normal, it will hesitate and I will hear a popping sound. With a little more gas than normal it moves but makes the popping sound and almost feels like the brakes were still applied a bit.
I'm thinking either a suspension part wearing out or maybe something with the brakes. Thoughts? Could it be clutch related?

It does sit outside. This happened earlier today after having sat for 4-5 days since a drive.
Sounds like not much to worry about? Should I take any precautionary measures?
