Popping, clicking noise in front end

I've noticed a slight popping and clicking noise in the front end of my 01 SCREW when turning wheels right and left. Both in forward and reverse? Any ideas what this could be. Only had the truck alitte over a month.

My guess would be bad CV joints If you have a 4X4 or your 4wheel drive is engaged while driving.

The 4 wheel drive is not engaged while I'm driving, I'm sure of that. Sounds more like something in the front like CV joints, something along those lines. This noise is only heard when the wheels are turned, either directions.

you might check your idler arm, when they go bad theres enough slack that the center link moves up and down and the inner tie-rod will contact the bottom of the frame. my 4x4 was making popping noise's when i was backing out my drive-way, and when i was replacing a bad idler arm i noticed scratches on the frame where there was contact with the tie-rod.

Definitely your CVC joint or joints are going.

Had a Ford Taurus SHO that went through two CVC joints at different times and prior to replacing, they made the same noise when making turns.
