WHILE I TURN THE WHEEL THERE IS LOUD POPPING SOUND AND YOU CAN FEEL THE POP ON THE WHEEL BUT THE STEERING IS NOT INTERRUPTED. IT STEERS FINE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. WHAT CAN IT BE SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF IT. MAJOR CONCERN.

It is either a ball joint or tie rod end, and you dont want to loose either while driving, get it inspected right away!
