i have noticed lately that when i back out of a partking spot and turn the wheel. there is a loud pop i hear coming from the frame or suspension. you can also feel the pop. what might cause this?

Are you sure, that it isn't your rear-end thats popping? Had the same problem, when turning it would pop very loud and you could feel it.

Check your frame where the powersteering gearbox is mounted for any cracks in the frame, or have someone turn the steering wheel back and fourth while you have your head under the truck to see if you can see any of the suspension or steering components moving in an unnatural way....

Also check to make sure that your front brake calipers are bolted down tight.

TTT for you since I noticed this on my truck last night.

My C10 wasn't popping but I could feel something shift when I was backing up with the wheels cut deep. My upper control arm bushings were shot! Might be worth taking a look at.
