Default Front end popping

When pulling out slow speeds turn the wheel right always at a certain point I hear popping and grabbing in the front passenger wheel turn a little more right it goes away, turn it back to that spot same noise . I can turn left all day not a hiccup. Doesn't feel or sound like a bearing . Need a lil help. 01 2wd drive

Check to make sure the ball joints are tightened up enough on the control arms if they have bolts. If your ball joints are riveted then this shouldn't be an issue, but torquing the replaceable ball joints down is crucial for safe and normal operation.
