is it only when you turn? or do you here it when you go over bumps as well? axles "click". it'll go *clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick"

thumps are usually sway bar end links or ball joints

X2. Axles click. Suspension usually pops/thuds/ grinds/ clanks. Sounds like a ball joint to me. Could be your strut moving around from a loose or sheered bolt.

I would jack up the jack and remove the front tires and turn the spindles by hand and see if you can get it to make the noise again.
