Default Popping noise?

There is a popping noise, not loud but noticeable, that sounds like it is coming from up front. I notice it especially when i'm making left turns at under 10mph or so. Any ideas as to what this may be?

I had the same problem it was the spring lowering bolts the rubber had worn off and caused a popping noise especially on uneven ground. I also had bad sway bar endlinks but that caused more of a rattling sound. Thank goodness for the GMPP on that because I actually got a new spring.

Noise has become louder over the past couple of days. Going to change the sway bar endlinks tomorrow or so. Anyone have any other ideas as to the cause?
