I have a 'popping' sound happening somewhere in my front driver side wheel/suspension area. It's not a quiet sound, and seems to be getting worse. Occurs during hard braking, hard acceleration, any time I turn the wheel hard (speed irrelevant, happens in parking lots) to either direction, and during urination.

Thoughts on a likely culprit?

Actual culprit = broken + loose tie rod end. Could move it a half inch up and down on it's hub/knuckle mounting point. Angle ground the s*** out of it and got it off and replaced.
