So I know that I need a rt front bearing, GOt the nororius humming vibration sound that gets WAY worse on left hand tunrs or corners. For the past 6 months whenever i am stopped and proceed to accelerate I could hear this click noise in the front right side, it has gotten progressively worse to the point that now when I turn right I hear a BIG clunk and then when I straighten out I hear a smaller clunk on the right side (its a painful sounding noise). Any thoughts??

Sounds like maybe your struts are moving around a bit. Do you have a camber kit? 'Cause that is where I see this happening most often, with the camber kit.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Nope no camber kit.. It almost feels like something is shifting out and then when I straighten up it clicks back in,. Frustrating as it won't do it unless I am driving, i.e. if I am stopped and turn the wheels it won't do it..
I am guessing it has something to do with the steering..
Could it be a control arm issue? Or ball joint? Or tie rod?

Its like a Knocking sound when I turn a corner, and then it kocks again when I straighten up..
Anyone else?

check that top nut on your strut/strut towers up front. Sounds just like the struts are bangin' around...

If the struts were loose, it wouldnt just make one clunk when turned. They rattle (many clunks) over evey little bump. You can feel it in the floorboards. If its just one clunk, I doubt the struts are loose. However, they are easy enough to check, so you might as well.

No clunks or noises on bumps just on turning.

When I broke the sway bar end-links on my taurus I had similar results, but that was on the rear of the car. I'm still not sure what was actually making the clunking sound, but when I replaced the end links it stopped.
I would pull the wheel off and inspect everything as well as you can. Try to get a look at as many bushings as you can to see if they're worn out. A good way to check bushings on control arms and end links is to just push and pull on them hard with your hands to see if you get any knocking or excessive movement.

Check for a broken spring. My 4 cylinder did that.
