Could be anything from a tie rod end, u-joint, ball joint or unit bearing. Get someone to turn the wheel while you watch. If a track bar is loose it'll do that too.

Trac bar. Happened to mine twice! Have someone turn the wheel and watch for body to kind of shift over a little when it pops. Hope this helps

Same problem. I was told by 4wheelparts to take the track bar off and reinforce the unibody around it. Since the track bar is adjustable, you'd adjust it out a couple turns. Or they suggested that I drill a new hole on in the bracket that mounts the track bar to the axle. Shifting the track bar left and the adjusting as needed. . .
