Suspension Help

Guys I need help, I think I broke somethin. Whenever I hit a pot hole I can hear/feel that somethings broke loose, and whenever I make a tight turn I can feel a pop in the front end. I originally thought maybe I broke a ball Joint then a tie rod, now I'm at a loss. You guys got any suggestions?
Thanks
Abel

Check your radius arm bushings. One probably gave out, and now the radius arm is moving around under suspension movement.

Also check your stabilizer bushings and connect rods, if bad or missing they will make noise.

Axle pivot bushings may be to blame as well. Check everything under there. Something will rear its ugly head at you.
