As i was turning a corner this morning my car started making these popping sounds coming from the front end
Kim:
Check your wheel bearings and ball joints. Checking the wheel bearings: stand next to the front tire, crouch down, put your hands on the top of the tire, and try to rock the top of the tire by pushing the top of the tire away from you and pulling the top of the tire toward you (rock it hard and fast). do both front tires. Any noise or sideways movement of the tire is bad, (Bearings are worn) and needs to be repaired. Then, stand at the front corner of the car, and push down on the front corner of the car repeatedly (rocking the corner of the car up and down (Rock it up and down Hard) If you hear the popping noise your ball joints need to be replaced. If these tests don't work but you still get the popping noise when you drive, take the car to a mechanic. Popping noises from the front end of a car is dangerous. If anything happens up there, you could lose your steering!
SOURCE: SHAKING AND KNOCKING NOISE
it could be tht the exhaust pipe is loose and therefor makes shaking and kinda banging noise. hope i helped! ;-)
SOURCE: Front End noise and vibration
Check the U-joints and axle baerings. But its most likely because the truck is in four wheel drive.
SOURCE: clicking noise in the front end when making turns
Most likely this a broken CV joint and this means replacing the axle.

It sounds like you have a bad c v or constant velocity joint. Look under the car next to the wheel look for a rubber accordian type unit, if the rubber is torn or lose the grease has escaped and damaged the joint. You can replace it yourself, but if your not mechanically inclined would say take it to a shop.
