My car does it also and I've seen many post on here but know one ever posts what will fix the problem. I've been told it could also be the steering gear bushings. That is going to be my next purchase to see if it fixes the problem[:@]

is it only when turning theres a TSB on the power steering tube brakets for making asqueak, creak noise when turning. but nothing for a poping.
