Default 02 RX300 popping noise driver's front tire

My 02 RX300 recently started making a loud pop somewhere near the front driver's side tire when you turn the wheel far to the left or right. I know nothing about the front end/suspension components. What could be causing this? CV joint/boot, axle, tie rod ends? Thanks for your help

My guess would be the CV boot busted and the CV joint got rusty and is popping. I had one bust one time and that's what it did. Check the boot and look for grease or oil on the inside of the wheel rim.
