Click/snap noise

Thought I might ask you guys before I take the car of the ground... I have recently got a click or snap noise when I turn the wheel to the left under driving. I can see some oil around the left dampner but not sure if it is from when I had the braked bleeded... Also just replaced the some parts.. adjustable tension rod and lower control arm..

 

So any idea to where I can start looking guys??

    Oil around my dampner.. Can a broken dampner make a click/snap noise at the same point when turning the stearing wheel. And I forgot to mention that the sound is only there when i'm driving..

    have you checked the tension rod bushes or the point where the rod joins the lower arm they can crack under the bolts causing a noise + its dangerous if it breaks completly!

    I've recently installed new adjustable tension rod and lower control arm.. took a look under yesterday and everything seemed fine except oil around the dampner...

     

    Not easy to pinpoint when the sound only comes when you drive and at a certain point when turning the stearing wheel.
