clicking from Driver Side Tire - Honda Prelude Forum

ever since i got my swap done, my driver side tire is click when the road gets uneven i.e my driveway.. when i pull up angled, my left tire clicks.. then when i straighten up, clicks again... not just a little click though, sounds like my axle..

im thinking its my bearings? i wheel shakes when i got the car on jackstands.. its not supposed to shake is it? what do u guys think?

Sounds like CV joints to me. You can test by taking the car somewhere flat with space so you can turn full circles slowly left then right. If you hear the clicking from the front wheels when you've got full steering lock on then the CV (constant velocity) joints are worn and need replacing.
Sorry to bring you bad news.

Sounds like your CV joint is going, like he said. In that case, check under the car for grease around the CV boot to see if thats cracked. If so, then you'll need a new axle for sure. The grease is gone and been contaminated with dirt, water, etc. I think I paid about 150 for a new axle installed at local midas.

not to post the obvious, but sometimes we don't think of it...

is there a pebble stuck in your tire tread?
