preludes do have problems with the wheel bearings, other than that check brushings and endlinks, and your front swaybar

lugnuts are good. Popping noise is completely gone now, and I can manage to make my ATTS light go on before I hit the highway so I don't get the massive back end shift now.

just a guess but i would tighten up ALL of the sub-frame bolts, especially the lower control arm bolts... i had a similar problem last week, i had a lose L/F lower control arm bolt... i hit it and all of the others and my problem went away... it even popped when i hit the brakes...

Mine makes a thudding/popping noise every now and then when I turn the wheel or go over bumps. After replacing multiple axles/CV boots and a wheel bearing over the past couple of years, I still have the thud. I'm assuming it's the suspension, but I don't have ATTS light issues or rear end issues as you do.
