850 front end issue 850

Had a clicking sound on my 850 when I made a right turn, so I checked left side cv joint and exterior boot was leaking - not too badly, but was leaking some grease. so I replaced left axle. Clicking is still there! seems to be synced with how fast the car is going, and doesnet happen when I turn left, What could it be:
- right side axle?
- right side axle bearing (the one that supports the middle of the axle)
- wheel bearing - but is definitely sounds more like clicking than bearing noise
- a sterring component - like inner tie rod? although it really sounds like its assoicated with the turn of the axle or wheel

I have jacked up car and spun wheels, cant get noise to occur

appreciate your help

The only times I have had a similar problem it was the CV joint, in my case it was the outboard on the side I was turning away from. (Right turn,left CV)

Could be anything, but maybe when turning you load up one side and the anti-sway bar link creaks/clunks. I'd look there as they are cheap and easy to change. Also, check antisway bar bushings themselves. Are your struts and spring caps in good condition?
