Weird driving noises

I have a 2001 f250 4x4 with the 5.4 triton and I've replaced the shocks, tires, and both front sway bar links. I still hear a popping/rattling noise coming from the front tire area when i drive on rough roads, I also get a popping noise when I turn sharp, and I have one more weird noise that sounds like running over a rumble strip on the highway that last for just a second and only happens every once and a while driving. Any opinions???
Thanks as usual

Check your front wheel hub bearings and u-joints. Jack up the truck and shake the wheels side to side, up and down. You shouldn't have Any play in the wheel. If you do remove the wheel and spin the hub by hand and listen and look for play and rough spots in the bearing. Good luck!
