Popping noise when turning

I am hearing a weird noise when I'm turning or even just going over a bump in the road. It sounds like a pop almost like a the pop of sheet metal??? Is it that the bushings for the cab are worn out? Because the noise is only coming from the drivers side. Any input would be helpful, thank you!

Try tightening up the fender bolts under the hood close to the cab. There are 2 on each side.

I wish mine was fender bolts.
Mines the front steering linkage snapping back and forth on the ball joints. =(

x3 on the fender bolts, I have to snug mine every couple of months. Be careful tho, you can only take up on them so much until... Pop! I'd suggest removing one at a time and putting on some red locktite then snuging them up good..

For those of you who've commented; does anyone know where I can get those captured nuts? Thanks.
