I had the same problem. Turned out to be the wheel stops. Just put some type of lube on there, something that sticks good. I used some left over ES lube I had, and problem was gone. Rub some on the stop itself and some on the spindle where it makes contact.

On mine it would only happen when I turned one way the other was fine. When I got under there I could see that the side where it would pop there was no lube, the other still had some. But I went ahead and did them both and haven't heard it since.

Don't overlook the possibility of a cracked frame near the steering column. Popular problem.
