TC rod could be worn and clunking or ball joint on the tie rod.

There was a guy on here a while back who had a similar problem. Jack up that side a start wiggling and pulling on the wheel. Could be wheel bearing. Inspect that side well for signs of rubbing or looseness. Also have some one wiggle the steering wheel while someone inspects the steering components. Turn the wheel far right and far left.

Hey also if you hear any squeaking, I just recently learned that tein's springs have an issue with squeaks. Tein make a spring silencer for pretty cheap.

Also I would get clunks when my TC arms were loose (tein TC arms)

My right front just started this today. Maybe it was just the car having a god damn fit again. But, I'm taking this thread up in advice to make sure nothing is wrong.

My tie rods made that noise until I replaced them.
