Frame side track bar bracket bolts. those stock brackets get loose over time.
Torque the crap out of 'em and a dab of blue loctite. Check axle side too.

The track bar's upper loint can wallow out it's mounting hole in teh frame bracket too, making a pop. New bracket if so. Check out the Iron Rock offroad double shear bracket and TB and never look back if ya gotta replace stock stuff.

If you're running the stock trackbar the increased angle may have increased wear on an old joint. Check for movement from underneath while someone else turns wheel back and forth.
May help to park one wheel against a curb and steer to look for play to
