Default Popping noise on front end

I have a 99 4.3 vortec v-6 4wd. I have a major popping noise on the front. it is worse in the winter than summer. What could it be? Is the sway bar and stabilizer bar the same thing?

I have a noise that happens intermitantly when I am stopped. The engine may or may not be running. The noise sounds like a loud thump in the rear end. Any ideas of what is causing it?

thanks,

Chris
