Popping Front Suspension

I've read some previous threads on this issue and am still unsure if what my car is doing is the same thing. Whenever I make turns over bumps i hear a popping noise from the front wheel area. If I turn left the noise comes from the right, and vice versa. Also if I move the wheel back and forth while driving about 45 i hear the noise from the suspension. I can feel it in the wheel and the pedals. It just started happening when the weather started to get cold. Do you guys have any idea what this is?

if you are using aftermarket springs make sure they are sitting right and aligned because mine did it and thats what it was

there's tons of possible causes. Control arm bushings are the most common as far as I've seen. Tie rod ends or a bad steering rack could be the cause but you'd most likely notice some loose steering. But not always. Sway bar bushings could also be the problem. Just have it checked out.
