Ok, would like some insight.

I recently replaced my front driver cv joint, was clicking at slow speeds through turns.

Now that I have fixed the CV issue another has seemed to arise. I am not getting a straight line click. When I say straight line i mean only when traveling in a straight line and only periodically. It happens when I have to get off the gas quick and on the brake hard and then subsequently if I get on the gas hard following. If I ease in to the brakes then I don't hear(slightly feel) it.

The noise was not present prior to replacing the CV.

Any thoughts? I am going to go back through and check the tightness of everything tonight, my initial though was maybe the brake caliper was a little loose, I have since tightened it and still have the noise.

Would love some input before this noise drives me up the damn wall! As mentioned, this is while traveling in a straight line only.
Thanks!
 
perhaps more of a lights clunk than a click? Its just a single noise when it happens.
 
check you pads, I lost a clip and my pads rattled around in the caliper. My (ex)girlfriends auto shop didn't tighten the lug nuts down and it made a clicking sound as well, it would go away when you put the brakes on. I couldn't figure it out until I saw the wheel going away from the car on the street!
