What are the symptoms of a failing ball joint in the front axle steering knuckle?

I've got a popping sound on the front-right that I've been trying to diagnose for over a year now. It pops on bumps and turns, when the suspension actuates. I've checked every possibly loose nut and bolt, and replaced the front dampers.

I've seen from other posts here what a treat it is to fix a ball joint, so I'm hoping for any other plausible possibilities...
