Steering clicking while stopped

If I turn the wheel from side to side, I hear a clicking noise from the right front side. I can hear it when the car is sitting still, just turning the wheel with the engine at idle.

I'll probably go ahead and remove and grease it, but I'm not sure why I hear it from the passenger side

before ya go and do that check out your tie rods on the passenger side. it'* also possible that your steering rack loosened up a bit

Don't just check the tie rods, check out all the ball joints (both sides - noises can be deceptive) and have a look at the strut tops as well.

Yes, the IM shaft clunk is very localized to the steering wheel and you can feel it as well.
