noise when braking and tight turning

Ok, I have a 04 with 27k That I have been dealing with for about a month now with several issues. Most of them I ave a solution for, but this one is stumping me. When the brakes are applied, at any speed, a popping noise comes from the front left of the car. I can feel the vibration of it in the pedal. It is a single pop. I thought at first it was an issue with the brake system, but it has checked out ok. The sound is similar to that of a coil bind, but this car is on stock suspension. Yesterday I was able to reproduce the sound without braking, but my turning in a very tight radius. The sound happened once per revolution of the wheel (once again turned hard left and held there) and then again when the wheel is straightened out. There is a possibility that another issue is causing this one; the oil cooler lines are leaking onto the steering linkage, I need to replace them and de grease the area. beside that possibility, anyone have any input?

How are your shocks doing? Any leakage there? Even though you are on stock suspension it doesn't mean that your shocks arent giving out. Although you have pretty low mileage it is something you may want to check.
