Clicking noise when turning

I am driving a 2010 F150 2wd and have started to hear a clicking sound when I make a turn, either left or right. The sound is coming from the left front. I first noticed it a few weeks back and it only seem to be intermittent when I turn real sharp to the right. Now it doesn't matter if I turn right or left the clicking sound is present. I don't have to turn quite as sharp to hear the noise now but it does take more than a slight turn to produce the click.

I have seen several posts related to this issue but so far they are all from 4X4 owners. I haven't seen any suggested solutions for a 2wd. Anybody had this problem before or have any idea of the solution?

Welcome to the forum, gafordboy! I recommend swinging by your local dealership so they can take a look. If possible, take your tech along for a test drive so you can reproduce the click for them. How many miles are on your truck?

It has 75k. I will check with the dealer if I can't resolve this without them.

Jack it up and spin the wheel. Make sure the wheel bearing is not loose. Take a look around underneath and se what you can see. If it is serious it will probably get worse and be more obvious as to what is causing the clicking.
