Thanks for the links.
I did a bit of researching online and found that a bad ball joint may be causing the issue.
Quote:
For most people, the first indication that they have a problem with their ball joints is a faint, intermittent banging sound that seems to be coming from a corner of the vehicle. This sound is usually more pronounced when going over a bump or dip, or when going around a corner. This is not the same as the clicking sound made by worn CV joints (constant-velocity joints) when going around corners. This sound is more like somebody hitting a piece of the metal structure with a hammer.
As time goes on, this sound becomes louder and more frequent. It is especially pronounced when the weight of the vehicle is transferred off and onto the wheel, such as when driving through a pothole. Left long enough, the sound of a worn ball joint can become a loud, creaking bang, similar to the sound of the bottom of the car hitting the ground.

The noise that they're describing certainly sounds like what is happening to me, especially the part that says that the sound is louder when going over a bump, dip, or going around a corner.
Going to the dealer on Saturday to check(or replace) the axle nut since its covered under powertrain warranty.
