your outer CV joint is shot, it will be more pronounced on the side that is bad when you turn to the side that is bad. the "technical" reason that it "clicks" is because it has no lubrication and things are binding in the joint. But if you hear it change it as soon as possible or you will have to add a tow bill to your repair..............

What does a clicking sound near the front end of a Hyundai Sonata indicate?
A clicking sound coming from the front end indicates there is something wrong with the axle on that side of the front end and that it might fail. When the clicking sound becomes very audible, have the axle checked. It might cost about $250 to replace the axle. The "axle" is not the type of axle that goes all the way across the car from one wheel to the other. It is only a joint between the front wheel on that side and the steering mechanism.

Why would a well maintained 98 Nissan Quest make a noise when turning left?
Depends on the noise...If I'm correct this is front wheel drive and if its a clicking sound,it could be an axle that has a torn boot and the bearings are worn out...Or if its a diff sound,it could be a front shock or strut... If it is a clicking sound it is a good possiblity you have a cv joint going out. If so you need to replace very soon.
