Loud pop turning right

[Kidd-7]

I've had some noise from the front suspension and recently replaced the drivers side shock mount, the metal sleeve was floating up and down.

Now I have a loud pop sound usually when turning right and the weight shifts onto the drivers side. I can actually feel it through the brake pedal. I got under it today and everything I see is tight. No play in the steering (9&3), very slight 6 & 12 play (wheel bearing are now on the list). Using a pry bar I stressed every ball joint there. Even bouncing the front up & down, no pops.

I'm attaching some pics, strut rod to LCA bushing has a slight crack in it.
The boots on the swat bar links are worn, so I'll be replacing those soon also. But would that be the loud popping? I can't get those to flex at all.

I'd fix the obvious, and see if it changes, the endlinks articulate when you turn, so that makes sense; I've always found one end stuck, one end rattling . On the links, I'd bet the stuck one is popping.

Can you replicate the noise by rocking the car side to side? Most common source of front end clunks I come across are sway bar end links. They can be hard to assess with the car up in the air. I usually try to rock the car side to side (or have someone do that) while I grab onto the joint and feel for play.

I tried both bouncing it up and down and side to side with the weight on the ground. Wheel straight and turned. No pops.
When I moved cars in the driveway she popped again.

Have someone turn it while you look at it. I think you'll see an endlink suddenly pop and move.

yeah, but I can't get it to pop when stationary. I'm not hanging off the car while someone else drives it. LOL

I'm going to replace those end links. I thought about this afterwards, but I could've disconnected the end link and test drove it to see if it still pops and that would rule those out if the popping persists.
