Knock and pop

Ok guys i am having two differnet problems that i cant seem to figure out. First, when i sit inside my cab and i am idling at a red light or crusing at maybe 20-25mph i have a knocking sound in the cab and its sounds like its either coming from behind the dash or right below it...so one day it was making it and i put the e brake on and got out to listen to it and i cant hear anything outside the truck with the hood popped etc. Any one have a similiar problem before?

Secondly, i just got my caster and camber bushings tweaked a front end alignment and everything in the front end is practically new. But if i hit the brakes or turn left or right im getting one pop from it seems the driver side front end. Any clues? Thanks!

you may want to check your radius arm brackets, just replaced my driver's side, was rusted out around bushing, bracket about 55 bucks, bushing bout 11 bucks, i had to grind off 4 rivets, there's 1 bolt and nut and then the big 1 1/4" nut at backside of arm. Good luck. Mine made the popping when turning, hitting bumps, or just backing up and then putting in drive and easing forward and getting on brakes.
