My Axle?

Complete noob seeking advice.
Car has recently starting to make a clicking noise, coming from my driver side. Only happens when I'm moving. As I move faster, clicking becomes quicker, vice-versa for when going slow. It also makes a defined clunk sound when I'm turning to the right, not the left. I have no idea what part it is that need to be replaced, but I fear that I will be left stranded one day if it's not taken care of quickly. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

So this clunking is coming out of the front then?, check out the compression rod on that side to see the shape of that. Axle stubs are in the rear off the differential so don't think it would be that unless u hear it clicking from the back, but still wouldn't clunk when turning on axles I wouldn't think...

Kind of sounds like CV axles on their way out. Is it like a click/popping noise? Those are a dead giveaway of it is while turning.

The clunking noise sounds like a bushing going or gone out. Like Daily said check your compression rod bushing but also check everything else. Lower control arm bushings, end links and so on.

Could be a ball joint as well.
