Default Noise in front end

When I'm driving down the road I hear a fast passed clicking noise coming from the front end and when I'm stopped and let off the brake so the tranny moves me without any throttle I can hear a cluncking noise coming from the front end. I changed the half shaft on both sides I'm not sure what else the noise could be coming from. Any ideas?

so did the noise start just when you changed the shafts, like the first time you drove it??

i figure you go to the last place work was done for a new problem.

The noise was there before so I thought it was the half shafts so I changed them and the noise is still there

Would a wheel bearing make a cluncking noise though? I've never had a wheel bearing go badown before so I'm not sure how to check it or listen for one

Depends on how bad wheel bearing are, however if cv shafts were changed, the mech would of noticed the worn bearings.

I changed them myself so I wouldn't of been able to notice that I guess I just jack it up and see if the tire will wiggle. I did notice though that I'm dripping power steering fluid by that long shaft going to the tie rods

Sounds like the lower differential bushing is shot.

Would that cause it to click really fast when giving it throttle. Could it also be a bad bearing in the axle where the cv joint slides into the differential
