certainly could be ball joints, since it's just one pop.
jack up the front of the truck with no weight on the suspension and try
to wiggle the tire around. motion on a verticle axis is the ball
joints, on the horizontal would be tie rod ends.
if that yeilds nothing, my first thought when reading your problem was
to check out your CV joints on that side. these trucks are all four
wheel drive, right? ;-)
