Default Weird noise while turning

Over the past week I've noticed a clicking noise from the front right tire whenever I'm turning left and have my foot on the gas. It sounds pretty bad.

If I turn without using the gas, no clicking, if I brake while turning, no clicking. If I turnright, no clicking. Its just when I turn left and accelerate. Any ideas as to what it could be?

could be a CV joint, bad bushing, or loose bolts

More likely your right axle is going bad.. That is the 1st sign,,,, the clicking sound..If that is the problem I recommend you replace both sides already..

Is the axle being bad even possible? Its a 98 coupe with just over 100,000 miles on it... I treat it like a baby and it was owned by a middle aged lady before me and I seriously doubt she treated it badly. Anyway I can check it without taking it to the shop? Like will there be visible signs of wear? If so what would that look like?

Lil tight on cash right now....

chances are, you'll find a blown CV joint on that side, most likely the outer CV joint.

The inside of your wheel, will be greasy.

You're better off just getting the axle changed if this is the case
