What are we missing

Steering shaft possibly maybe it needs to be repacked with lithium grease, I would hate to do mine again but im starting to notice some noise.

One other point, When I turn the car to the right the car will not click unless it is leaning or placing pressure on the left wheel. Buttom line if I turn very slowly it will not click.
Next question how and where do I grease the steering shaft

What is the duration of the clicking? Is it like a single click upon turning or a continuous click?
The steering shaft is a good possibility, also the strut bearings could be the culprit.

It is a continuous click and it is very loud click to a point where I have noticed pedestrians looking at the car in horror when I turn around corners or at a set of lights

It could be a transmission input bearing or simply a torn cv boot. There are many probabilities.

I'm not too positive if this car even has input bearings in the transmissioin but from knowledge with other cars like pontiacs it could be ur problem. I guess it is safe driving the vehicle like that, though I am not positive. A good friend of mine also has a toyota truck he has been driving with a bad input bearing for yrs and he is just now trying to fix it.lol
