Cracking noise in the front suspension????

My truck has developed a cracking sound in the front suspension.
Here are the times the sound occurs:

1. When brakes are applied(Weight Shifts), it will click.
2. While turning slowly and slightly sharply.
3. Most often while turning slowly and changing elevation.

Does this sound like a problem anyone
else has had?

BTW, my truck is an 02 Frontier CC.

I'm new around here, but frequent CamaroZ28.com, Fbody.com, and LS1tech.

Several people have this problem (or at least a similar problem) and there have been some threads on it. My truck does it when I am turning left and going over uneven pavement. It really only does it in the winter so it is temperature dependent ... at least for me. Though I would describe it more as a pop, groan or squeak. Can't really remember as it has been a while since I heard it and all that is coming to mind right now is the sound of the ABS self check.

I don't think anyone ever really figured out exactly what is causing it, though some people did figure that it seems to be related to the front torsion bar.

I was thinking that it was torsion bar related.
Thanks for the replies guys. I look forward to hanging around here more often.

the linkage from the sway bar to the LCA was my popping sound, I had to tighten it.
