Re: Popping from front suspension
Ball joints or sway bar links...could be tie rods too. Have to get under and check.

Can you post some pictures of your front suspension, and underneath the front? But just throwing this out there, possibly a broken shock, or a really bad ball joint.

I would guess sway bar link but it could be a number of things.

Your sway bar link is broke in the first pic. Easy fix.

Re: Popping from front suspension
x2 on the sway bar link. Both ball joints on that same side are looking pretty greasy. Not a sure sign of being bad but when the boots leak the chances of getting grit in there go up. I would check them for play while you're at it. Here's how:
