Default popping noise in front end

Today I noticed when im driving under 15mph and i hit the smallest of cracks in the road i can hear and feel a popping in the front of my truck. It seems like its coming from the drivers side, and when I start to accelerate it starts to go away...or I just can't hear it anymore. Im not sure if it would be a ball joint, Ty rod...I can't figure it out. Idk? Has anyone had the same issue with their truck?

Have you crawled under the truck and checked anything yet? We can't help without you getting involved, there are a ton of parts that can cause this problem.

Make sure you check all bushings, shocks, tie rod ends and ball joints.

You may need to jack it up and suport the frame so that the wheel hangs (no pressure on it) and shake that top/bottom in - out, movement indicates wheel bearings. With load on the the system, parts may not make themselves known as easily.
