i just noticed a ticking sound on the right front wheel of my galant whenever i make a turn to the right going down. it only makes the sound when going down turning left. i wonder what's causing it. any idea? is it the bushing or the ball joints perhaps?

check the axles and tierods also. The axles click when they are faulty too. And I say tierods cuz you said it only happens when you are turning. You might want to check the steering rack too.

and you might be right about the balljoints, maybe its blown which might cause clicking when it moves.

godsmacked_002, just following up if the issue was due to faulty axle shaft.

You have a defective CV (Constant Velocity) joints for sure ;)
