Found the problem went to mechanic shop that i know and asked them to uset here lifts and the lower-control arm bushing is GONE on the passanger side so i guess tahts the pop noise im hearing but rubber in california is non exsistant, it corrodes and yada yada, but i found the bushing at autozone for $20.00 and my father-in-law was a mechanic for ford motor company for 31 years he going to help me put the bushing into the lower control arm.
