    That's the sound I have coming from my front left wheel area when I turn to the right. I know what a wheel bearing sounds/feels like when it goes out. I replaced the front left wheel bearing few months back, so that shouldn't be the problem I wouldn't think. The clicking comes from me turning at slow speed. I really notice it when going like 0.5mph and turning right, like turning into the driveway for example. The sound gets faster as I go faster, like up to 5mph. It's not like I'm putting a large amount of force on the wheel bearing at that speed. It doesn't really make any noise at driving speed though, even driving spritedly. I'm stumped, what could it be?

    There's actually a chance it could be the strut bearing. A friend's car was making a clicking popping sound at lower speeds and new strut mounts fixed it.

      Strut bearing, wonderful. I'll take care of that when the new suspension goes on. It's a very consistent repetitive clicking sound then the wheels is turned, very annoying when driving through downtown parking and what not. Kiiiinda embarrassing having a car that looks the part but doesn't sound like its maintained properly.
