Most of the time this is coming from the CV joint on the front axles if it only clicks when you are making a turn. Item 20 on the attached pic. The main boot I am talking about is the outside one near the wheel. You may consider looking at the boots around the CV joint and see if they are torn. The grease will be coming out or gone. It is best and I have found easiest to replace the entire axle, both sides as all of the parts are worn.
