Default Suspension Help

I've brought the question up before, but never found anyone with the same problem. Now that the problem is getting worse, I thought I would ask again.

Suspension set up is H&R race springs on AGXs, about 10k on both. Whenever I turn the steering wheel the suspension makes popping noises. Used to be only every now and then, but now it is every time, turning the wheel in any direction.

I've taken the car to a suspension shop and they say everything looks fine. I've put the car up on jack stands and turned the wheel, but there is no popping, it's only when the weight of the car is down on the suspension. I do notice slightly more play in the steering wheel, but I'm not sure whether or not this has anything to do with it. Thanks for any help.

does it still pop even if your car isn't moving? it might not be suspension related, maybe axles?

It actually does it most when the car is not moving at all, that is the strange thing. There is no play with the axles- niether side to side, or towards or away from the car- so I don't know if it's that.

Ok, so this morning I took off the left wheel and I had a tear in the CV boot, fairly large one. Went ahead and took it to my local shop and they replaced the axle. End result: CV boot is good, brand new axle, but the suspension still pops. Any more ideas?
