i recently replace several much needed steering parts on my jeep (upper ball joint) and put a new rotor and brake pads and caliper bolts on. but even with all that i still have a wierd popping noise when i first start driving after its been parked. I think it may be the tie rod end just wanted more opinions before i started buying parts.

 

is it popping while turning or driving straight? check all rod ends, check bushings, check for loose steering parts. maybe have a friend sit in the vehicle and turn the wheel full lock L & R while your looking at the front end.
