Single pop when turning

When I turn either direction I hear a pop sound coming from the front, I think it's the passenger side, any ideas? I just installed a 4" lift if it matters.

It sounds like your axle end of the track bar was not torqued to spec. The bolt is likely loose a little. Torque it down to 55 lbs/ft.

Easy to find, get out and look at the steering components while someone inside turns the wheel side to side. You'll find it quick????

A few years ago I had a 98 grand and it would do the same thing drove me nuts. After replacing shocks and checking every thing else out, still there was this pop. I finaly found it to be the sway bar link was poping out of the socket. With a jack on the fraim as it goes up watch the sway bar and the link at the socket and there should not be any play or movment as the body goes up.
