Front End Popping Noise

the steering stops are not a moving part, its literally a "boss" on the lower control arm that hits the spindle or brake caliper to stop the wheel from turning any farther. if you look at the lower arm, you should see the spots, they will most likely be clean shiny metal spots. just smear grease on them.
as far as i know, there arent any zerks if that what you mean. there is no way to grease the permanently sealed joints, you just replace them when they go bad

I have the same popping noise when I make hard turns. But only when I turn to the right. And it only makes one loud pop. I have the fabtech spindles installed, and never noticed it until after the lift was on. I also installed the fabtech steering stops.
I always assumed it was the stops. But I never hear it when I turn to the left.
Mabye I should check the ball joints. How hard is it to replace them? Or to pay someone to do it?
Thanks.
