Default Right wheel clicks when turning left.

Hey guys whenever I turn left I hear a clicking sound from the right front wheel. Just wonder in any thought it might be a U-joint or thinks if might be something different.

chances are that it is your axle or cv joint. take the wheel off & inspect the side which is clicking...most likely, you'll need to swap if it has mileage on it.

Could be the CV axle or the upper ball joint. Most likely the CV axle. Check the boot of the upper ball joint and if it's leaking that might be it. Also check the CV boot...

I went down to Autozone and bought the driver and passenger half axles and will be replacing them this weekend. My car has 160k miles on it so I figure might as well do both. They were only 55.00 each after I return the core. Not to bad. Thanks for the help..

it was the half shaft for each side that includes the CV joint. They told me its cheaper than fixing just the CV joint itself.
