Hey Kingofslackerz, <BR>Your noise is CV joints. Get them replaced soon before they do more damage than just the CV joints. I had mine replaced about a month ago for $204 (both sides including tax, parts, and labor).

I think I have the same problem. I hear clicking too but it stops when I brake. I just changed the front right bearing, I still hear the noise but it's not as strong. If you find out what it is, let me know.

Re: clicking noise on the right front side of my car
Is it clicking, like hitting a piece of metal with the point of a Pen, or more like rubbing 2 pieces of metal together?<P>If rubbing, I had a prob with my brake. It was making an insane noise at 25 kph and below when slowing down. I first thought it was the break, but I wasn't wrong or right. There is a piece of metal, with the heat from your brake, can move or curve, and hit your disk. Paid over 300$ to learn, after changing the brake, calipers, disk... Hopefuly, the garage made me a credit for that.<P>Just make sure it ain't a piece of metal that can touch another part which isn't suppose to.

Re: clicking noise on the right front side of my car
Clicking sound is usually a busted CV joint.<P>either get the boot fixed, or, like I do, get the whole shaft replaced. Damage is imminent so get it fixed ASAP.<P>While the mechanic is down there, make sure he checks everything to make sure that no damage is done.<P>Mazda's are known for this kind of problem<P>RF

Re: clicking noise on the right front side of my car
I have a 1995 mx-3, my car does it too. If you have stock hub caps (wheel covers) they are just making noise. It sounds like clicking, and you can hear it very well when your next to a wall or another car. Try evening out the air in the tires... that helped mine. the stock wheel covers are so cheap... they are almost cracking because of the weight. I got new rims... and it's gome now. But a way to kinda tell... push on the edge of the wheel cover and if it makes a crack sound... that's what it is. it will make that sound once for every time your tired goes around. Just get rims! Stock wheel covers are cheap. :p
