Unhappy Clickinng/Tapping Noise Coming From Front of 02 WRX

Recently ive noticed a clicking/tapping noise coming from what seems to be the front passenger side. Possibly from the suspension or brakes or axle. Im not sure what is going on.

It began when turning left(noticed this last week) and has progressed to occur now when braking hard going straight as well(noticed this today).

The car does get driven fairly hard especially on turns. It has 137k miles under its belt. recently replaced the cv boots maybe 5k-7k miles ago dont remember. But i dont think its the boots. The car is all stock as well.


Any ideas or any help would be much appreciated.

post in your local chapter and find someone to ride with you and listen - it's almost impossible to diagnose random noises over the internet

at a minimum we're going to need more info e.g.

o is it a repetitive noise? or just a single clunk / tap when you turn in or brake?

o if repetitive does it depend on engine speed? road speed? gear?

o have you done any basic diagnostics e.g. checking for play in the wheel? checking the brake dust shield? exhaust hangers?
