You don't say what year your Dak is but I would assume it would be the upper ball joints. If I were you I would have them inspected right away. They will pop and if you wait too long, they will break which means it will cost you MORE money than ball joints.

go to speedtweaks.net and check out the section tips and tricks. look at the body mounts section. mine is doing the same popping noise but only when i'm backing off of an incline and i have my wheels turned. i know my ball joints are ok but haven't tried the body mounts trick yet to see if it helps.
