a cv makes a continuious click click click click click click click click click click click click click when you are turning.
If it's a one off click or an irregular click it's probably suspension/steering link joint/bush worn out or fowling on something.
You'll have to jack it up and turn the steering and get in there with a pry bar and start replacing anything that looks suss. Could start with the anti roll bar bushes.

hey sam,
we had a similar noise in a dmax about 3 months ago. I found that if you take the auto hub off which ever side you think is making the noise, and pull the tiny little 1 or 2 little tin washers out from behind the circlip on the cv shaft it went away.
Might be worth a try in your case, if not put tuem back in.
Cheers Mitch

Those washers hold the CV in place for the seal to work. The seal is the one that stops water getting in through the back of the hub/CV.

But on this particular vehicle the c.v shaft was held that tight against the seal by the shims and circlip that it was making a high pitch noise, and the shims physically wouldnt fit back in.
Just my 2c Mitch
