Question Popping noise when i turn the wheel???

So say my truck is parked and i slowly start backing up and turn the wheel, there is sometimes a loud pop comin from the front tires. What is this? How can i check to see if that is what it is? Any help would be great, thanks

If I had to guess (and please don't take my word for it), I'd say it sounds like ball joints.

It's ball joints. I have a 6 inch lift and mine did the exact same thing until I replaced them.
