Popping when I turn the wheel

[Sam Im Is]

It doesnt do it constantly. So after its been sitting for a few minutes I hop in start her up and go to turn the wheel and bang. It pops really loud then its fine. Won't do it for a while. Sounds like its coming from the drivers side. something in the steering probably considering it has to do with turning the wheel.

give a look at your tie rod, drag link and such... my tie rod has a bend right near the knuckle and it does something like that. Obviously I need to replace it soon, if thats your problem you would want too aswell.

$10 says its the trackbar. Very common.

track bar mount, steering box loose or frame cracking

I have a very similar problem -- If it was the frame cracking where would it crack ?
