popping noise

If I turn sharp either way my front end will make a popping noise. What could this be?

I replaced both of them last summer though, would they go that fast?

one pop? if so try the track bar bushings, if it's a series of pops then u-joints would be my guess.

It sounds like U joints to me. Stick something in there and see if there is any play in the joint. I havet seen them go that fast, but anything is possible.
