front end trouble

I have a stock 88 runner that pops on the driver's side front when i turn to the right going downhill or hit a large bump. The bearings, cv joints and ball joints seem tight and in good shape. Could this be the torsion bar? if so what do i look for and how do i fix? thanks

I had this problem then i realized the bolt holding my steering stabalizer would hit on those large metal tabs (stops for the idler arm and pitman arm) .. The bolt would slide over them (they're rounded) and if you turned quick or the suspension flex, like turning out of my driveway and dropping over the curb it would hit that metal stop and "POP"
