Default steering popping

This just recently started. I have an 03 Mustang GT. The steering just started to make a popping noise when you turn. If you are sitting still and turn the wheel, it really does pop. It barely pops while moving. Just trying to get an idea of what it is...

man, steering noises/issues seem to be pretty common with mustangs. the more i look around, the more i see owners with all the same type of problems.

I have a problem with my Flowmaster Cat Back where if I take a bump or incline at an angle the upper control arm hits the exhaust and makes a popping sound. I've heard its common with mustang catbacks. Are you sure it's coming from the front?

im positive its coming from the front... only when i turn the wheels. i can be sitting still and it will do it so i know it isn't from the catback
