Default Popping from right front

I just noticed a pop coming from the right front when I brake driving about 35 MPH. I only hear it when I apply the brake and not let off. I have new tie rod ends, sway bar ends, shocks etc. The weird thing is the truck has sat since last Friday when I drove it to have it inspected.

Any ideas on what the pop could be? I jumped under the truck and nothing obvious was loose.

LOL, this is like the 4th or 5th new thread created on this same issue since last night, and only ONE person stated whether or not the truck is 2wd or 4wd.

Try to tighten the shocks up a little bit.

Mine in 4WD. I tightened them about three weeks ago because I felt something loose up front when I went over bumps and it seemed to fix it. This is more of a single pop just when I hit the brakes at about 35 mph.

I would look at your U joint's on your front axle.

I would check the bushing condition & torque of the track bar bolt on the right side. It has to be uber torqued to not move. Double check the shock bolt as it has to be super tight as well.
