Default Strange click noise. Anybody know what it could be?

I got a strange click noise coming from the front end of my car only when in 1st gear. It only clicks when I move from a standstill. Is it my axle, drive shaft, clutch? It gives me stress just thinking about it. Anyone know what the problem can be? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Had the same problem, only when i broke inertia it happened. Honda just tightened something in my suspension. Quick and easy.

Yes Sir!! Mine only did it when I was rolling forward and then came to a stop and then reversed.

- Put someone in the car with the e-brake on and have them press the brake pedal
- Grab your torque wrench and wait for the click at 220lbs
