What could it be? Whenever I am turning or coming to anything other than granny stop, there is a ticking or knocking noise coming from the passenger side. It almost sounds like it's coming from the wheel well, but it's hard to be sure, since I have no one to drive it while I listen. Anyone heard of anything like this before?

 

that knocking is a blown cv boot, its common on all fwd,

 

Is this the only possible thing it could be? What causes this? Is there any way a bad rotor might cause this?

 

check all your lugs. loose ones will cause a clicking sound when going straight. cv axles usually only click when you're turning.

 

could be the axle, but also check the sway bar link where it mounts into the lower control arm.

These are known to corrode and wearout to the point that the bar will actually start to hit the contol arm.
