Mysterious pop

There's pop-sound coming seemingly from right front suspension. It occurs always when I reverse from driveway to street with wheels turned. It comes only once when the car has started moving, or once a loud pop and then one or two smaller pops - if reversing is continued, no pops. When the wheels are straightened after reversing and I start moving forwards, it sometimes pops but not as loud. It does not matter how much power is applied - even when it rolls backwards on neutral with wheels turned, the pop comes. The prerequisite for the pop seems to be the change of direction of movement, BUT it only pops after moving one or two meters.
So, there is obviously play somewhere which causes the noise on weight shift. But weight shift of what? It started in winter while I was braking to a left corner: There was a rather loud pop and then a couple of quieter ones. Back then I thought a spring broke. After that, the popping was first occasional, now regular as described above.
During the time the noise has existed, the following have been changed: Struts, strut bearing to the right side, steering rack, control arm bushings(both the front bushing+brackets and rear bushing). The balljoints seem OK, I haven't found loose bolts under subframe.
I'm running out of ideas...
