slight clunk in front end

96, when rolling, if I turn the steering wheel left and then right, or while driving, if I turn, I regularly hear a sort of "pop" when going past center, either left, or right. It doesnt feel loose, or "bad", in the steering, but obviously, its not right. Any ideas?

My money is on a worn out track bar. Probably the mount on the frame rail end.
