Help me figure out this noise on a 2008 Ford F-150 I looked at

I was checking out a 2008 Ford F-150 with 180,000 miles at a dealer lot in Denver yesterday. It has a rhythmic clicking sound from the passenger side front wheel when I turned left. Could it be a bad CV axle or maybe something in the hub assembly? Anyone run into this on one of these trucks?

Not an F-150 guy but CV joints click on turns, not the hub.

Could be a cracked ABS tone ring on the back of the hub instead of a bearing noise. Those make a clicking sound that speeds up with the wheel, easy to mistake for a bad CV. Might be worth checking the sensor gap if the truck has electronic stability control.
