Problem With Suspension...Update
Ok I have an update on my cars knocking and popping coming from the front. I made a video sitting in park turning the wheel back and forth. You will here one of the noises I am talking about at 11,23,and 37 seconds. The other noise it makes is when driving over bumps or stuff.

Have you done any mods to the suspension? Sounds like something is binding and then popping loose...
Maybe jack the car up in the front and have someone turn the wheel while you check underneath and see if something is caught up on anything? |

Loose suspension mount bolt? I once had a car that I had replaced the lower control arm and apparently didn't get the mounting bolt(s) quite tight enough. It would make a popping noise as you described, a mounting bolt was moving/shifting and it would "pop" as a thread caught the mounting hole edge. Got worse/more frequent over time. Had to weld a couple of washers on the bolt to space it back from the now buggered thread, but once torqued to spec never heard a pop again.

I had a similar issue with lower springs. They lasted a week and ordered RideTech Suspension.

Had an issue of a popping sound and it was loose sway bars. Had to retorque everything on suspension and it went away
