I'll assume you have a front-wheel drive. These have CV or Constant Velocity joints in the drive arms - necessary because the drive shafts need to bend as you steer. They are like a Universal Joint except the architecture is designed to literally transmit a constant velocity through the joint. (A plain Universal Joint will cause a slight increase and decrease of speed on the other side of the joint as the pivots move during rotation)
The CV joint needs to be packed with grease, and then the joint is covered in a rubber boot. These rubber boots unfortunately can split and then the grease can fall out; also dirt can get in. The lack of grease along with the dirt will damage the joint, leading at first to a ticking sound when the joint is bent through a large angle. As the damage gets worse, the tick will happen at smaller and smaller angles. If the tick is only on one side, you've probably got a split only in the boot that's on the inside of the turn (ie the right-hand boot for this question)
If the damage is very minor you could get away with cleaning, repacking and replacing the boot, but in general you'll need to get the shaft or joint replaced - not necessarily new because they can be reconditioned quite easily.

How do you glitch music on spore galactic adventures?

If the noise is a clicking sound, chances are the CV shaft (or axle shaft) is bad. It supplies power from the trans axle to the wheel.

Its Your CV Joint Or Your Wheel Bearing ........... if it is your cv joint you will hear the knocking or clicking sound especially whilst turning corners.xxxx
Clicking sound when turning?
Depending on which side it is, turn the wheel the farthest you can in that direction and check that rubber boot that connects to the wheel, if its torn or ripped then you need to replace it. the noise is from metal grinding together.
What causes a squealing sound when you turn the wheels completely to the right or left?
The cause of the squealing sound is because you are turning the steering wheel completely to the right or left

Could be a wheel bearing, better have it checked out soon before the wheel departs from the vehicle.
When you turn your wheel and step on the gas sometimes it makes a sound what does it mean?
its nothing bad. Depends on the sound. If it is a clicking or thunk it is probably the CV joint in the axle. It will start when you are turning and then as it gets worse as you are going straight.
How do you know which wheel bearing is bad?
With each wheel raised, Use both hands, one at 12 o clock position, another at 6 o clock position of the tire/wheel. Shake it, any movements? Should be none. Another way is, when driving, there is a "humming sound", it will get worse if you turn it to the right, or worse if you turn it to the left. The humming sound will go louder. If humming sound is stronger when turning wheel to left, RIGHT BEARING IS BAD. If humming sound is stronger when turning wheel to right LEFT BEARING IS BAD.
What are the symptoms of bad CV joint in a 1995 Toyota Corolla?
A clicking sound either when you are driving or when you make a turn. The Clicking sound will come from the outside wheel during turns, such as if you turn left the right cv will generally make the noise.
