Default popping noise from front suspension

i have a 2002 GT. i have a popping sound coming from the right and left front suspension area. i haven't located the source as of yet. at slow speeds while pulling forward and backing up and cutting the wheel the suspension pops. also pops over speed bumps, under braking, and slow turns. my guess is shock. does anyone else have the same problem or a solution?
thanks

Default RE: popping noise from front suspension

Mines starting to pop and I can feel it in my car when I move my car in the morning backing out of my parking spot and turning the wheel to full lock... Well I would say its the inner or outer tie-rods. Since it only happens when you turn..... but the speed bumps hmmmm..... put the car on the lift and move the front wheel by grabin at the 12 and 6 oclock position and try to rotate it. If it moves it the ball joints, the try and twist it at the 9 and 3 oclock position if it moves its the tie rods. Is your car lowered? Mine is, might as well get a bumpsteer kit while your at it.. thats what im going to do.
