My 1998 hyundai excel has a clicking/creaking sound coming from left hand wheel when turning, this happens mainly when turning right and seems to be more evident when taking off from a standing start. The faster I take off the worse the noise. Any ideas as what this might be?
That would most likely be your drive axel when they go bad they click when you turn the steering wheel
All front wheel dives rely on the same technology basically. Wear often becomes evident on the ends of the drive shaft at the road wheel end. nTo test if this is the problem. put the wheel mon a full mlock if it ticks it is drive shaft and if it gives a humming sound it will be wheel mbearings. In addition if you drive on full lock right and get nthe ticking or creaking it is drive shaft and if youy drive full left lock and get the noise it will probably be wheel bearings. Hope this helps.

DON'T FORGET TO RATE:

There's a chance that the ball joints need grease. This should help, however once they have started to make noise like that due to lack of grease, they usually have gone bad. Replacement may be the only remedy. Hope this helps.
SOURCE: steering creeks when turning left or right. front wheel noise.
humming noise is bearing.creaking is either tie rod or other ball joint.tie rods on these go out all the time.bearing also
SOURCE: 1998 Ford Mondeo GLX, loud humming sound, front driver side.
Most likely it's a wheel bearing going out.., If you turn to the right, or the left when driving the noise will change pitch. Been there done that.....
