Any time I turn left when moving (car leans right) there is loud clicking and banging coming from front suspension?? or something?

Had a mechanic put on lift quickly and there is nothing obvious or broken showing.

Advice please?? Has anyone had this?

Do you have active suspension? My car was doing that. The front sway bar was binding, needed a new one. I believe it was like $2000.

Does it make the same noise when turning to the right?

In addition to the above comment, this also sounds like a classic bad wheel bearing symptom. You can do a quick check yourself by jacking up the right side and placing your hands at 12 and 6 on the wheel. Push in and out, alternating between 12 and 6, if there is any play, then you might have a bad wheel bearing. Get it checked out by a mechanic, if it fails while driving, you will be very unhappy.

Mine only made the noise when turning left and you could actually feel the popping in the floor.
