Default Loud "click" in left front suspension

I have a clicking that happens in my left front suspension, at least that area, and i cant figure out what the hell it is! Ive got a 94 ls, skunk 2s with camber kits around. it happens when i turn the wheel to leave a parking spot. when i turn to the right it clicks at just about full turn then clicks again when i turn back to the left to take off. it also happens when i go over speed bumps every now and then.

Ive had my wheel off at least 5 times checking everything out! everything is tight.

I have a feeling it might have to do with my cv joint, but it isnt making the cv crazy noise yet. and i cant explain why it clicks over bumps every now and then.

help me out!!! i dont want to take it to a shop and have some *** rob me of all my money cause i cant figure this one out.

same thing happened to me after i installed my ingalls camber kit. Everytime i would turn the wheel all the way while leaving my parking space, i would hear a loud popping noise from the front right or left side. the camber kit was loose...tightened it up and the "popping" noise went away.

Could be your cvs or axle.

My guess would be CV boot... Usually when they bust, the grease leaks out and won't make any noise for a couple of weeks until all the grease is gone and the bearings become dry... That's prolly the stage where you're at, and that's why you're hearing the popping/clicking noise...

I'd reccomend getting it fixed fairly quickly, and stay away from U-Turns... HTH...

Try the ball joint, just a suggestion, but my buddy is having the same problem right now.

It could also be a binding swaybar endlink.

Mine had been damaged somewhere along the line and I found it one day when I separated the front endlinks....really gritty when you try to rotate the endlink.
