CLICK noise when I turn right, NOT LEFT??

I've talked to some other people about this and they seem to hear the CLICK as well. I obviouly cant hear it at low higher speeds, but if im stopped and I turn the wheel to the right, there's a CLICk noise coming from somewhere which I cant find where its coming from, if I turn left then NO noise, only right and pretty much almost full turn, anyone?

Have you checked your track bar bushing? Mine pops a little at slow speed turns.

I'd check the axle U Joints. That is a symptom of a bad one.

Does the noise stop if you step on the brakes? It's happened to me and it was a worn bushing on the caliper (I think it's a bushing; it's the rubber part which the caliper bolt slides in).

Maybe this is a long shot, but since you just had everything apart check the rotor dust shield. Maybe it got bent and is hitting something.

ok, well I think I finally figured what it can be. Inner tie rod, pitman arm or the last thing which I strongly think it is that I dont want it to be is the steering gear box for some reason, inside the box itself is where the click seems like it coming from. Is there a common problem with the gear box?
