Default Pop when I turn

Hey, Im new to this site and have a question. Here lately i have been hearing a pop when i turn to the right and the front end shakes around 50-55 mph. I cant remember if i have ever heard the pop when i turn to the left but i dont know what the noise is. I thought maybe it was my tie rods so i replaced all of them and that didnt do anything for the popping but it made the shaking a little better but its still there. So my next thing i think it might be is the ball joints???? But im not sure. I replaced the steering stablizer and that didnt do much. Ive heard of the death wobble not sure if thats what i have but it was really bad at one point. But it would only do it at the speeds i said. So if you guys have any ideas please let me know. I would like to get the problem fixed. Thanks.

i have the exact same problem its around 55-60 here you can do 65 or more and its not all that bad and below 55 isnt either but 55-60 is horrible, i also notice mine popping at times when making sharp turns or when im cruising in the mountains in some rough turns, idno wtf it is i figured it was the track bar but i still dont know.

I hate how it wobbles. It used to be really bad but since i put the new tie rods and steering stabilizer on it has helped it a little. But the u joints shocks and springs are all newer, i did them when i did my lift. The only thing i havent touched is the end links, ball joints, and track bar. So maybe ill check all of them and hopefully it will fix the problem.
