Default 4x4 popping

Hey guys I recently drove my 2004 f150 in 4x4 and noticed that the right front side has a sort of popping sound and kind of jolts the truck i guess you could say. It started after I changed out my upper and lower ball joints so maybe I put something back together wrong or something. Or has anyone else had this problem? It only happens when in 4x4 and only on the right hand side. Could it be the hub or 4x4 selenoid? Thanks for any help

Check your air lines to that hub, when doing the ball joints you may have damaged something.

I looked at the air lines and didnt see anything wrong. Ill inspect them again when I get a chance. No I know not to put it in 4x4 on pavement. When it happened I was going on a slick muddy road. It was like it was engaging and then kicking out but im not sure
