Front end pops. Dealer says they can't hear and if they do hear it nothing wrong. My whole family can hear it all the time. Now what do I do?

When I took car in was first told it was the calipers and that it was normal, took it back and I was told they were to busy to look at it but it was safe to drive, the starter had to go out before they would check it out, turned out to be a loose axel bolt and they had to replace the whole front axel.
