clicking on hard right turns?

there seems to be plenty of threads on clicking noises but i havent seen one that fit my problem.

every time i take a hard right turn, i hear clicking from the front driver's side. i checked the sway bar endlinks and they seem to be in tact.

took my car canyon running couple weeks ago and heard a little of the noise, and the noise got louder during a recent canyon run.

anyone else have this issue?

Sounds like me when my front wheel bearings were starting to go. How many miles do you have on your car? And which tanabe coils do you have?

I'll second the bearings. Common failure on 350Zs too.

got 42,000 miles on my car and have the basic tanabe with helper springs on the front. duno the exact name. i think it's sustec pro ss. wish i could've got coils with adjustable shocks.

what makes things click? don't understand how bushings, endlinks, and bearings can all have the clicking noise, but they do.
guess it's another trip to the dealership.
