Recently I busted a coil spring on the front driver side tire, I replaced the whole strut and after it was replace drove fine, UNTIL I went on the freeway. My steering wheel has always shaken a little bit but nothing ever this bad. After I got off the freeway, I heard a clicking noise everytime I slowly accelerated or was just idling. I was thinking it may be because I didn't replace the opposite side strut as well? Or a bad bearing or cv joint? not sure. I have a video of the noise if you reply I can send to you via email. HELPPP!!!!!!!!!
CV joints will only click when the wheel is turned. Normally this is due to a torn boot and the grease gets EVERYWHERE in the front suspension.
The clicking could also be that you need to bend back your dust shield that goes behind your brake rotor. You could have hit it when doing the strut and it is making contact with the brake rotor.
As far as the shaking, this could be a number of different things. I would make sure the rest of your front end it tight. Check the ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rod ends, strut mounts, and wheels.
SOURCE: noise from the front
Car will pull if brake is binding...as soon as your speed cannot overcome the amount of braking being applied. Be careful when examining it the rotor will be much hotter than normal. (sometimes will turn blue and warp as well)

sounds like lower balljoints or inner tie rod ends jack up the car try to move wheel from side to side
SOURCE: front end click
hi! there,
click noise on front wheel may also evident in
the suspension system when driving,these noises maybe produced by the springs and shock absorbers may either be a rattling noise or squeaks,Noises produced are usually caused by looseness of the parts, tightness of the parts and lack of lubricant.
have a nice day,don't forget to rate me ,thank's
SOURCE: There is a click sound from the driver's side
tie rod end will need to be replaced. If there is more than one click than that would be ball joint.
