a popping sound in the front end is a little vague but if it is happening while you are turning or driving there is a good chance it could be the CV joints ( only on 4 wheel drive models) if it is going on just while the motor is running it could be a sticky lifter in which case a quart of Lucas oil to replace one of your quarts of standard motor oil can also help this. or a mechanic can re-tighten your lifters these are just a couple simple things that can be checked but for more accurate answer the question needs to be more specific
