    Oh really? Hmmm would there be any other way to fix the problem apart from raising the car? Pontiff was saying something about putting it in the same angle as the cv joints are, not too sure on how to do that though..

      Hmm I would raise it just to see if the clicking stops. If it does you know it's height/suspention related, how low have you gone? (Fender to tyre?) I know stock is about 50mm for the fronts 75mm for the back. Also have you done a wheel alignment? It could be that the toe or camber is off by a lot, but then again I know there is limited adjustment in the front so it might not be that.

      You have to remember that the gearbox is left aligned so the cv joint on the left side is more bent than the right side...so of anything I would think the sound would be coming from the left. Just my thoughts

        Okay so there is quite a number of things that can be affecting it, still havent done the wheel alignment as im getting new wheels in just about a week or 2. Ill measure the height at what im on now and post back once i get home.

        I see.. well im 99% sure that its coming from the front right side, ive had a passanger sit and stick their head out to let me know if they can hear anything but it's really faint, whereas the right side its extremely clear, so you're saying that if there was any cv joint being bent, it would be the left rather than the right. Ill keep you posted on the current ride height once i get home. Thanks in advance mate.

          If you are turning right the right CV joint would have the most acute angle on it as the inside wheel has to turn tighter that the outside.

          Probably driving like you own it instead of like you stole it would lead to less stress on the components as well.
