We managed to eliminate the noise on both the driver's side and passenger's side by applying some copper coat lubricant on the matching surfaces of the hub and the wheel. At least it's working for now. I'll keep everyone posted if it turns out to be a permanent fix. Thanks much for the input!
Sorry, wheel hop was the wrong term … but I'm familiar with the noise from tire skipping that can occur under full steering lock. The clicking noise that I was experiencing was different. Fingers crossed that the application of the copper lubricant will solve the problem long-term.

Again, thanks everyone for the input!
