Angry Clickin noise when Driving

Well this is the problem and its getting really annoying...and that's the reason I don't drive my car anymore. I'm afraid something will break and my wheel will fall of. LOL anyways when I drive the car the driver side wheel does the clicking noise. It becomes louder when Im going fast and let go of the gas and its on neutral or when I braking. When I accelerate or I'm pressing the gas the clicking noise decreases and I can barely hear it. One more thing the steering wheel moves alot like it needs alignment which I already did not to long ago. What could be the problem?? Please help

sounds like your axle joints are bad... lift the front end off the ground and turn the wheel back and forth and hear for a clunking sound when you go back and forth and replace that axle. most likely the bot will also be busted open and grease thrown everywhere. mines starting to make a clicking sound... its boot has been busted for about 6months now and just starting to click.

I would say check the axle like he said, and also just give a look for any loose suspension parts. I had a clicking noise, and it ended up just being under torqued lug nuts. One was stripped and gone, the other 3 were torqued wrong giving it an off balance rotation. Are your wheels properly balanced?

Given the loose steering, also check the tie rod and ball joint.

So i went to check it and like plethoric said it was the lug nut on that wheel that weren't tight enough. Now the noise stopped but when I turn I can hear a clicking noise. Should I check something else?

Yes, check the CV joint boot (looks like an accordian) for tears or signs of grease leakage. Chances are that you need to have the CV joint replaced.
