My guess would be lower ball joints if they haven't been replaced recently. Or even if they have been, but incorrectly. Just the first thing to come to mind because I had the same problem once.

when I some times back our of my parking space or turn all the way left or right, I get a popping sound but I dont think its anything to worry about, in your case im sure there is.
