(Thanks  to the group for a crusise control answer - I'll report back - now
a question I may be afraid to hear the answer to)

My 99 A6 2.8  has begun to make a noise in the right wheel.  When I use the
gas in a right hand turn, there is a clicking noise coming fromn the right
wheel area.  It seems to be tied to how much accelator  I use. ( I'm
guessing probably in the range of 4-8 clicks per second )

I can drive straight and not hear it.
I can coast through a right turn, and not hear it.
If I hit the gas in a right turn, I DO hear it.

I have some ideas, but I think they may all be pretty expen$ive.

Looking fwd to your comments...

You have a failing CV joint.

Get a re-manufactured axle and replace. This is not to difficult or
expensive of a job at a reliable Audi independent shop.

As long as you are doing it you should take the opportunity to replace
the front wheel bearings. they tend to go bad over 100K.
