clicking noise from driver's side front

ive noticed this wierd clicking noise i get coming from the driver's side front wheel... it happens at random intervals but ive narrowed it down to acts that i think correlate to it:

1) turning left
2) going over bumps

i wonder if this is happenning whenever weight transfers off the front driver side wheel and then back onto it... anyone having or heard of a similar problem?

 

I get a similar clicking when I hit the breaks. Mine is kinda metallic sounding.

 

so is mine... people on nasioc have listed a lot of potential causes from gear lash to bad axel... maybe porter might have some idea

 

how many miles do you have on your car?

I just ticked over 38K the other day.

 

under 20k

 

might have to take it in for a service just to be safe

 

i think if it was the timing belt, the noise would be somewhat periodic... mine's random

 

had the same problem, ended up being front brakes were DONE..But get it checked out. ASAP

 

all factory parts look fine... seems to be a common problem with the teins though.... need to increase the preload and tighten the top bolt and see if it goes away
