The front passenger side wheel area has developed this click noise, which isnt quite a clunk but is loud enough for pedestrians to hear. When the noise began I was just driving down the highway in a straight line when the steering wheel suddenly pulled right. At the time, I thought it was built up ice in the wheelweels from spinning the tires in the snow as people with AWDs are wont to do. Since I cleared the ice out, the click showed up from time to time, eventually getting worse.
Driving around a corner under acceleration seems to be when the click is most likely to happen, although it will click under acceleration in a straight line, accompanied by a twitch in the steering wheel. To me, it seems like a spline of the axle, or whatever part is directly driven by the axle(or both) may be stripping.
