front end popping

I have a 2001 2 door 2wd Blazer.Im getting a popping from the right front when I take off hard from a dead stop or when I cut the wheels deep either way.Any ideas?

RE: front end popping

Well this morning I greased the crap out of the ball joints and got the popping when turning to stop.However the noise is still there when I take off hard.Its not quite the same noise.Its more of a deep grinding noise that only last for a second.
