maybe ur car springs adjusting to the sudden shift in weight towards ur right side. Ground level difference causing the 'toing' sound. hope this helps.

Is the clicking sound from your turning indicator?

broken drive shaft boot? (rubber boot)
Or more serious, the drive shaft?

could be wheel bearings, maybe worn out OR it has faults. may be about to fail. that will leave you stranded on the road.

Got this problem also, spend a bomb on it too and have given up trying to find out what is the problem. Just change the car.

Changed 4 dampers, 4 springs, the piece of metal at each wheel there(dun know what u call it) and even the 2 sub. But the sound still persist. Gave up finding out the problem. Just change the car since prices are cheap now!

Clicking when turning? A vast majority of the time it's due to a worn constant velocity (CV) joint, especially in FWD cars. It's not the drive shaft in itself, but the joint between the drive shaft and the wheel rotor.

However, if you're saying that it's coming from the back, it could be that the wheel bearings are on their way out. However, the most common indicator of a worn wheel bearing is a scraping sound, and in later stages, a rumbling - try driving with the windows down and see if you can hear this when you're going in a straight line. If you do hear the scraping sound and it stops as you begin to apply the brakes, it's most likely the bearing.

If it is a worn bearing, make sure you change it ASAP - the last thing you want is for it to let go completely while you're on the expressway - not only does it jerk the car around and make it uncontrollable, the heat from the friction will also boil your brake fluid and make it useless.
