    Anyone know off hand what would cause this. When i accelerate or decellerate a slight click comes from down near the wheel area on the drivers side.

    Haven't had a chance to get under and have a look yet.

    Could be the rubber bushes on the suspension arm worn, my friend has the same problem and thats what caused it.

    Does it happen when your going slow in 1st or 2nd and if you tip the accelerator you hear a clunk and when you let off you hear a clunk? If so then it sounds like the tie bar (part screwed to the steering rack and track rods).

    Jack up the car and shake the wheel and listen to where the noise is coming from.

    also check you have a little grease on your door hinges and checkstrap, sometimes that makes a noise as you slow or accelerate. But then again it may well be in your steering or suspension.

    The almera does the same thing, only its when im braking. Very loud 'pop'. So loud, that people turn around because they think Ive hit another car.

    Is it just the one click or several clicks?

    If it's the latter it could be a worn CV joint.

    Its just one click! No clicking when turned it. I've ruled out the CV. ALthough i did get the CV boots changed a while ago. No hubcaps on the car.

    Click is more of a ping its not too lud.

    Take off your wheel and have a look at the rubber bushes on the suspention arm, see are they worn.
