My front-end sounds like pop corn popping when making sharp turns. I started a thread a year or so ago and never really discovered why it is making the noise....I replaced lower ball joints, shocks and everything else is tight and lubed. There is no affect on drivability.

your noise sounds like it in that outer shaft (axle) if its only when turning.

just a guess.
