Default LOUD popping noise!!!!!

So I have recently replaced most of my front suspension...once I did I still noticed a really loud popping noise when I turn the steering wheel! I got under it to see if I could find out where it's coming from and from what I can see, it's my steering gear! Any ideas why the gear box would be poppin?

Not quite sure.. Guess I'll have to check that.. Might just go ahead and get some new bolts to test it out.

GRADE 8 BOLTS!!! If there is a broken bolt and you pull the box take a good look at the spacer also. Make sure those bolts are in there straight.
