Regina,
Ok, here is the deal. When I accelerate during a turn, like say boosting throttle (three quarters to the floor and past), I hear a faint clicking/knocking noise. At first I just thought it was a bunch of packed snow on my wheel wells, and when i turned it would hit my tires causing the noise. But then i washed my car and got rid of all of the snow build up, it still did it. I can't really pinpoint where exactly it is coming from? But it sounds to be more coming from the front/center of the car.

When I just take a turn no matter how fast, without accelerating, I hear nothing. Only happens during a turn when under hardish acceleration.

I checked the axles boots about a month ago and they seemed to be ok then. Is this a sign of the start of worn axles? Or could it be something completly different? Any thoughts? Ideas?
 
i would check the boot again and see because it sounds like a cv axle. wen was the last time you replaced them? or have you replaced them at all.
 
CV Joint. Drive it until it makes more noise then you can pin point which one it is, or till it blows apart. :D
