Is every thing greased? I had a similar issue with mine after my power steering box started leaking. It was draining into the drag link and thinning the grease causing a popping noise when I turned lock to lock. Fresh grease cured the problem in my case.

I found on my K-10 that the leaf spring u bolts where loose and allowing the springs to slide causing a big pop.
