mine does the same thing, however it does it in reverse and D. It does it mainly when i put more stress on the front driver side tire, for examping reversing with wheels turned to the right or in drive as well. I believe it is the ball joint. I have the occasional pop as well. This is in a 01 ecsb silverado

The pop I had to in my 02 z71 and I just found it Monday. pitman arm and idler solved that noise.

For the clicking noise while rolling i guess cv-shaft if 4x4. There cheap to replace 55 bucks a side I believe.
