Default Clicking Sound

I have searched up on here and several topics come up with the same description but without any real results or solution in the end that I cant find.

When making turns i hear a clicking sound that sounds like it happens once per rotation of the wheel. I am 99% sure it is coming from the front driver's side wheel.

Anyone have an idea of what this could possibly be?





To be more specific, i wouldn't describe it as a card in wheel spokes but more like plucking at a tight wire(if that makes any sense)

it could be your axle. Jack up the car and look at the boot to see if its torn. If it is, then yeah your axle is bad.

Chances of you having a noisy axle on an s2k is less the 1%.

If it only happens when turning and coasting, it's a sticky LSD in the dif. Let it ride, nothing to worry about.

Yeah, turning and when taking off very slowly. Again I am almost certain that the sound is coming from the front, should this be where it is coming from with the sticky LSD or would it be coming from the rear?


Also, what can be done to remedy this?

If you are saying the noise is from the front end, it's def not the axle, plus i have not seen one axle go bad on an s, unless it just snapped it clean off from too much power.
i have run into lower control arm bushings being shot, causing the lca to tweek when the wheel is turning, causing more of a "clunk" noise, but that is a very heavy noise. best bet is to make the noise happen and have someone stand beside the car to make sure if it is from the front or the rear.
