Default strange clicking noise

This problem started last week, when I am going from a complete stop, there is a clicking noise from the front passenger side. Did some search and i think its a CV joint problem. Anybody had this problem before? any advice?

Thanks in advance

You sure it's not coming from the convertible top?

Top has been up the whole time. After work I'll take the top off and drive around and see what happens.

what CV joints are you refering to? car has no drive axles in the front. CV joints are in the rear.

is it speed relative: meaning does the clicking increase tempo as you pick up speed?

might need to re-tighten the axle nut in the rear if the sound isnt the top.

tom, you really need to isolate if the sound is from the front or rear.

ONE click from the front could be a few different things. one of the most frequent i see is the brake pad. when you accelerate from a stop, the brake pad shifts a little bit and makes a little click
