power steering pop
power steering pop
over the past 2 weeks ive noticed a little pop that sounds and feels like its comin from right under my feet when im driving. It does it when i turn either to the right or to the left. Any ideas on what's causing this or what the problem could be?

i have been stumped on this because im not feeling anything in the steering column, and when i hear and feel it its like its comin from right under my feet where the drag links are
I stopped by Napa and an old dude there behind the counter said "Ever replaced your track bar"? I lifted the truck up and using a bar, had almost 1/2" of play in the ball joint on the end of the track bar.
$277 later and a new Napa track bar solved my issue. That one wore out 45k miles later and now i'm looking at replacing the '98.5-'02 ball joint style with the '03 style:
I'm ordering one of these:

Also, check your inner and outer tie rod ends for any slop (lift up the truck to do this). There is a outside chance your issue is related to a tie rod end, but they don't usually make a knock sound, just give sloppy steering and excessive tire wear when they are worn.
