If the noise is a clicking or poping it most likely is the drive axle. The knuckle joint behind the tire. The rubber boot covering the joint has probably split allowing dirt to get to the joint and causing it to wear. $60-80 for an axle if you do it yourself. $200 or more at a shop.

How do you change the CV Boot on a 2002 Ford Focus?
Consider replacing the axle with a rebuilt unit. When the boot is torn, contaminants enter the joint and quickly destroy it. It is very labor intensive to replace the boot vs an axle which is a do-it-yourself job. In my shop we used to replace boots but because of high incident of joint failure customers were understandably upset. The boot has a life and so does the joint; once the boot tears ,the joint is not far behind. Why do the job twice?
What does a torn CV joint look like?
