Driver side "POP"

Hey guys,

When I come to a stop there is a pop in the front end and it won't do it all the time. It never does it when I am turning or taking off either.

Components that have been replaced are balljoints, tie rods, sway bar links, idler arm, pitman arm and steering geer box. Would a bad control arm bushing do this?

Thanks in advance,
Ammar

Make sure everything is tight, I have a noise on the drives side and the adjusting sleeve was loose on the drag link and the track bar was not tight enough of the passengers side, got rid of my noise(s)

I had a driver's side pop in an '01 ram 1500 a few years ago.

Turned out to be worn-out bushings in the shift linkage (bell crank kinda deal) that mounts to the cab on one end and the transmission on the other end.

Just another thing to check.

Ok I'll check those things out when this crappy weather subsides or until something actually brreaks, whichever one comes first.
