Ever annoying clicking sound

Whenever the tires move I hear this anonoying clicking sound. I already checked the tire and there's nothing stuck in there. It all started when I got my brake pads changed. My guess is that the brake silencer that was put on slipped into the uppre part of the caliper and the clicking sound is comming from it hitting the little thingy's in the rotor. It occurs whenver the tire move about every 3-4 inches.

Check to see if your CV boots are torn.

If it's worse when you turn, that might also be a good indication of the CV joint being the problem.

It's a constant click...click...click sound. It doesn't get louder when turning. If it wasn't raining today I would have checked it out already. It's very possible to be both things though because I just had an alignment and I just got a new tranny two months ago but I never heard that sound unless the CV joint was already bad. Knowing mechanics things strange always happens. Is it hard changing the CV joints?
