2002 Mazda Protege ES
Hey all, I have an 02 Protege ES and recently I have hearing a noise coming from the front passenger side of the car when ever I hit a bump whether it be big or small. It kind of sounds like the right wheel is hitting several more bumps than the left even though it isn't. I know I haven't given great details but I really don't know how to explain it.

There is another sound, although I don't know if they're related: sometimes when I'm turning into my driveway, I'll hear about 3 or 4 clicks as I'm turning and heading in. I don't know.

If some suggestions could be given as to what to look for, that would be great. The car has ~92K miles. Thanks. (thumb)
 
clicking while turning is generally a cv joint. The other sound could be a worn strut, worn strut mount, center nut on top of the strut not tight. Also, endlinks like to make some amazing clunks when they are worn or completely broken.
