Default Popping when i go over bumps and turn!!!

Alright guys so my truck has started a popping noise coming from the driver side wheel well when ever I go over bumps and sometimes when I am turning. I can't seem to figure out what it is. Anyone else had the same problem?????

I have the same problem. My end links are tight, sway bar bushings don't look bad and I don't see anything loose. I wonder if it could be the struts considering I have a 06 with a 6" lift and the struts are original.

That would be the sway bar link. The top nut is missing.

Make sure you replace both sides, not just the broken side.
