Does the steering feel sticky when it pops? Almost sounds like it could be the rack catching. Checked the joints on the rack for movement?

It doesn't feel sticky at all you can't feel it in the wheel just hear it the truck does have a slight pull to the right and bump steer, but not at time of pop.

Jack up the front end and see if there's anything loose up there.
