Yep, this is common when the from bearing hub is going out, it would be good is we can get a short video of the noise so I can hear it to be sure. Here is the part I think is bad. Let me know please.

If we can get a video of the sound it can help us better determine the cause. It could be a variety of things including what one tech mentioned above.
1. A dry or worn ball joint can bind when under a load and can click.
2. The front sway bar end links use vertical bolts with bushings that wear down or crack over time. Weight transfer into a turn can cause them to click or clunk.
3. Loose tie rods or a worn idler arm pivot will snap or click when directional force is applied.
