Is it a "click" or a "pop"? I'm guessing CV axle.
 
well its like a clicking the thing is it only does it when i turn to the left. Nothing else changes it. Just when im moving and turn to the left it clicks
 
huafist is correct; you need to replace the CV halfshaft.

Well depending on how bad it is you could just replace the boot, but it is hard to find places that will sell just a boot kit. Most likely you will end up replacing the whole halfshaft.
 
one more thing...im a college student and i can't get cash till the end of this semister...I was wondering how bad is this?

If it's popping, it's near the end of it's life. If you have a CV joint break at highway speed that'll be bad news. My advice is to replace it ASAP. Typically when you replace a CV, you'll replace the other side as well so they wear evenly.
 
Thanks alot to everyone that helped. I took my car in this weekend and sure enough it was the half shaft. It was really bad. Another thing my car is a stocker so i have the ol' hubcaps still on it. If anyone else has a problem check them first. I also had a wheel weight fall off and that was also clicking. But It was the mixture of the two that made my car click. But thanks again to all.
