Hi lads. I have a clicking noise coming from the driver side front wheel, usually when the car is turning left. Sometimes if i'm on an uneven road you can hear it every now and again too. This noise has only started since i fitted the new front brake discs and pads. I have a feeling it is a CV joint but if I lock the wheel in either direction the clicking doesn't happen only on half and quarter turns. The noise is not usually uniform either so if i'm going slow on an uneven road it sounds different than going round a bend at say 30kph.
From searching here and other sites I've found 3 possible problems, each with similar clicking noises to my own.
1. CV Joint
2. Loose brake pad rattling in the caliper
3. Worn track rod end.
Is there any way to find out for definite what it is? If it is any of the above how safe is it to drive on?
