    My ebay rod ends are still in the box as trail spares. I have used one upper and one lower...both are holding up so far. They don't have many miles on them though.
    Is the popping you are getting while turning and moving or sitting still? If moving are you sure its not your CVs...again?
    Also while your in there check the upper and lower control arm bushings. All my issues were the upper arm bushings.

    Those are the ebay BJs I got. They are O.E. branded.

    I would think you would only hear ball joints if the mounting bolts were loose or maybe if the rubber boots were torn and they'd been wearing that way, but they really aren't a constantly moving part of the vehicle, so I'd check elsewhere first. Those tie rods sound suspect to me. Have you jacked up your vehicle and really shook your steering components to see if there's any play?
