You need to check your front axle shafts for worn out c-v or u-joints, if the outer c-v boots are torn open you need new c-v shafts,if the u-joints are loose, they need to be replaced

Do you have 4 wheel drive ? If you do you "could " have a problem with the transfer case. The noise you describe is indicative of transfer case issues.
Follow steering coloumn into engine compartment, have someone turn steering wheel with front wheels off the ground(jack up car)
Look to see what is turning and what is not.
Looks like it's time for a right wheel bearing, or however many there are in the hub. I'm assuming you do not have a 4 wheel drive. Remember, if it makes noise when turning left, you are "loading" the right wheel bearing. ( Shifting more weight to the side inside your turn). Think this way. When turning left at a higher speed, the left tire might even come up off the ground! That puts all the weight on the right. If you've 4 wheel drive, could also be c.v. joints, or universal joints.
Check the front tyres for hi / low spots, flat spots, bulges. Try rotateing your wheels front to rear & see if the steering vibration disapears & noise move to rear.
Hi Cathy Rosa, you don't give much info...does it increase with wheel speed or engine speed? Could be drivetrain issue or just a tire gone bad. Have a garage check all of the fluids and recomend any filter changes to rule out certain fluid related things. If you could give just a hint more info when it happens it would help diagnose the cause. Can you feel it thru the gas pedal or steering wheel? It's the little things that help narrow down and rule out certain problems. Good luck..
Four wheel drive is designed to drive on grave or mud. You will always have a feeling within the steering wheel and the truck will feel as though it is hopping , this is normal on dry pavement. How ever you shouldn't hear noise this is an indication that your universal joint on your front differential shaft is worn. You should have both changed if you are considering driving it in four wheel drive a lot in the conditions that the vehicle was designed to drive in, slippery, muddy,ect.
My father had this problem on a car years ago and I have see others have it also . The poping noise is often for a ball joint and then the wheel just falls off. Have the ball joints inspected for excessive wear
