Clicking from front driver side wheel when turning?

Anyone have an idea what it could be? What's the fix?

Probably a nail in the tire...Raise that wheel and inspect thoroughly.
This can often happen with no loss of air pressure if the nail is in there Just right..

I'll double check tomorrow, but the ticking is too fast. In other words, it doesn't match up with the speed I'm going.

Check the Hub. The bearing may be noisy

I had that exact same issue with my DD a year after I bought it. Took it in for warranty and, if i remember correctly, had to do with the CV joint.

Check for codes and make sure none are set for ABS. Jack it up and give the tire a good shake (up and down and side to side}. Pull the tire and wheel. Inspect tire tread, make sure lug nuts were tight, look over the hub and brake assembly (should be tight and turn without noise), check all the end links (sways, steering, etc). Something is probably loose.

Best thing to do is a visual inspection because it could be any one of the things mentioned. Keep us posted.

Could also be a broken sensor in the tire. I had this in my rear wheel.

I haven't had a chance to look the car over, but I wanted to add that I can now hear it going straight too. When I'm close to a curb or if there's a car next to me, I can really hear the noise because it will bounce off. The faster I go, the faster the clicking is.
