Did you check your front suspension by trying to move it with a crow bar or other large leverage arm? My ball joint is beat pretty bad... Bad enough my tires are chopping however it takes a crow bar to move the ball in socket to see. My buddies truck had similar sound, bushings on front arms bad, couldnt tell till you leaned on it with a bar.

Mine was popping randomly and turned out the mount for the track bar at the axle was slightly loose and causing a pop to happen
