Popping while turning?

Everytime I turn into my driveway I hear a pop coming from my suspension. I figured it was my sway bar so I tighted it up. Still popping! Any ideas?

I would guess a ball joint or double check the top mount for the coilover is tight as well as the steering link. Also is it from the front or back. If you really cant tell Jack up the rear to seperate the leafs and give each slider a blast of WD. My poping was from the crap gunked up between the leafs. If still not that check the N2 in the coilovers, 200 PSI

If your truck is 4x4, it COULD be CV joint...

I just fixed my pop yesterday. It would pop when I turned while braking, but not all the time. I couldn't tell for sure if it was coming from the front or back so I tried the WD trick that extremeethan mentioned. When I did the leaves nothing happened so I sprayed the shackles and the popping got worse. I found the 2 lower bolts on the rear shackle had loosened. I tightened them both about 2 turns and no more pop.
