If its only audible on full lock and driving the car it sounds like a cv joint gone dry.
Check the boot to see if its split etc.

Otherwise the carbon canister "clicks" and is audible?

carbon canister is quiet as its not there anymore  :lipsrsealed: could be the CV joint, how much of a ball ache is it to replace?

Cv joints are easy.

Jack the car up,
Wheel off,
Hub nut off,
Pull hub from drive shaft,
Hit the joint off the shaft and replace.

Job done.
