is it like one click or is it constant (well as in while turning) and increases with speed, if so possible cv joint on its way out, especially if youve checked every bush ie anti rollbar bushes and drop links and theres no play anywhere, it could be a bit of a pain to find, especially if its definitely only doing it when you say turning and accelerating

it is constant clicks as i turn and accelerate together but the sound disapears when i straighten the steering wheel and drive. and yes, the clicks increase with speed ie if i am speeding up while turning a corner.
