clicking popping in steering linkage

[mdb01]

My 99 avenger has a popping noise in the steering. When you turn or left or right something pops. Doesent happen all the time but is very annoying. It is loud enough that people hear it when I drive by. I assume it is in the steering linkage. Auto repair shop cannot figure it out. Anyone have this in their cars? Thanks.

There is a whole list of things it can be. I had the same sound once and it turned out to be the top bearings in the front left strut. It think the part was only about $15 , had it change when I had new struts put in.
