Front End Noise

hey I got a question, some times when I go over bumps like up driveways at an angle I get a noise from my front end like its a erup or pop noise it comes from both the right and left once and a while, I check everthing it tight up top and where the strut goes to the wheel,

any ideas?

the steering does feel a little loose, like it has more play in it.

steering stops i went to the dealer... like i said with tax it was under $10 the service guy was really cool and installed them for free .... all he did was lay on the ground and stick his hand under and pop them on..... its a little piece of plastic that looks like a soda bottle cap and they are on the back of the steering arm all u got do it turn ur wheel all the way to one side and feel for them if they are in tack and no worn then do the same... if they are worn just pull them off and put new on no tools 5 min job
