Sounds very much like a CV axle needs to be replaced. The clicking becomes pronounced when trying to turn, as you describe. Check for torn boots on the CV joint next to the wheel, where the axle goes through the spindle. You would also find grease everywhere in the wheel well. But, even if not torn, could still be the joint. You don't say how many miles.

I don't know how tie rods could cause this?

I would suspect the CV axles before the differential.

By any chance would you know if it’s the Left Or Right Cv Axle?

Where are you located? Do you have a specialty drivetrain service facility in your area? Have somebody that services differentials and transmissions evaluate the problem.

Tie Rods and/or wheel bearings are not going to slow down acceleration, they will just make noises.

You could have a front differential issue and/or a Transfer Case issue and/or a CV Axle Shaft issue. Go to a service facility that works on those for an inspection, not a general mechanic (which by your description are apparently incompetent in your area). It gets diagnosed with your ear. Put it on a lift and listen to where the noise is coming from.
