I actually am having the same thing happen. I recently replaced an upper ball joint and lower ball joint on the opposite side.

I think it may be the lower ball joint that i didn't replace :/

Check your axle's again. It could be a small leak under the boot. If not that, check all suspension parts. Make sure everything is all greased up and not dry.

If you're running aftermarket suspension, that's probably the cause.

Also, try a search. We've covered this several times as this noise is not uncommon.

Could be a number of things--you'll have to investigate.

Why would aftermarket suspension cause this noise?

Not correctly installed front struts/tophats/springs (which is easy to do on these cars), something isn't tight, swaybar is slipping (which gets loosened when suspension is installed), etc.

Basically, installer error.

And some suspension just clunks (i.e Ground Control or any other sleeved coilover).
