well today i changed out my strut mount just cause i thought that the clicking was cause by a bad strut mount which it kinda was..but when i took the car from a test drive i could still hear the same clicking noise. it sound like something is loose..it click whenever i go over a bump when i studder (letting go of the clutch too much and not enough gas) my car. the clicking feels like its mount side to side not up and down..here are a couple things i think it might be...controll arm i just changed it like 6 month ago(still look brand new) ball joint( changed that out like 2 weeks ago), just changed the strut mount (today), tide rod and wheel bearing. well if anyone has a clue what it could be i really need the help. i am lleaning towards the tide rod and control arm more...let me know thanks

I know that if you turn and you hear clicking its for sure the axle. But I had a case once when I was driving the clicking would occur during bumps too. And progressivly got worst. The boot was okay too. Guess what happened? It went out on me when I got to college all the way in Fergus Falls. Double check bro.
