Popping noise when turning or going over bumps.Is the drag link bad?

[Rawze]

See if it has any in and out play at the joint. If it does, then its shot!.
It can be checked by someone yanking the steering wheel hard one way, and then the other way rapidly with the truck turned off ... and someone else observing that joint (and others) to see if it has any in/out play.

BTW: That particular model of drag link is known to wear out like that and cause serious truck accidents!.

It is nothing at all to play around with, and can kill someone!.
