Front Axle Click?

I have been getting a sound from my front right (passenger) side only when I make left turns. The best sound comparison I can make is that is sounds like when you are changing gears on a bicycle. It is really annoying and any help is much appreciated.

That just sounds like the typical axle click issue.

Mine is weird because it only happens on the front right side while making left turns

A lot of us have experienced it at some point, I had the rear axle click when changing to reverse and back, it was covered under the warranty so they fixed it.

I have this EXACT same symptom. Only when I turn. Front passenger side. It's been going on for months.

LMFAO. Me, too. I hate driving in parking garages because the clicking sound is amplified and echos.

^^^ That's not good news. I was hoping they would just have to grease something up. I hate it though.

ummm I dont think this is the same as the rear axle click (although I've been wrong before). Typically if clicking occurs when you turn the wheel or in specific directions the issue is related to

1) Wheel bearings
2) CV joints

I'd get the stealership to check it out...but I really dont think its the same issue as the rear axle clicking..
