When I'm driving down the road, taking turns (left or right) I noticed it makes like a higher pitched clunking or clicking sound. When I got home I jacked the car up and pushed on the sides of the tire to check if it might be the wheel bearing or tie-rod but it seemed good. I then followed by removing the wheel and doing a squeeze test on the Outer CV boot (Driver side where the sound is heard) and no grease was present. I finally took note that with the tire installed, and vehicle raised in the air, the tire would make the noise when I rotated the wheel back and forth. I haven't pin pointed the problem yet but would anyone have any quick ideas as to what it might be? Thank you. (Engine: 1.8T AWP, Drivetrain: 5-speed 02J Manual)
The engine is malfuncioning and the internal chesis is destroyed

It turned out to be a very bad wheel bearing. Apparently wheel bearings, when extremely warn down, can and will produce a clicking or popping sound while the vehicle is in motion or turning. Other symptoms are commonly a rubbing sound from the bad side.
