hearing a clicking noise

I'm hearing a clicking noise coming from the right front wheel after a stop and letting out the clutch during acceleration. It happens for about 2-3 seconds. Any idea what it might be? A CV boot maybe? I plan on taking it to the dealer next week but I don't want to get the run around when I show up and the dealer saying, well it's your springs or whatever. Thanks guys

i know you described it as clicking noise but does it sound like a bed spring uncoiling? i started getting a noise from my right front when i turned the wheel at low speeds. it sounded like a bad spring on a bed creaking. took it into nissan and they replaced the strut and it went way. the left side started recently doing it so i took it back and now the left front strut is on order. i know you have springs but i wasnt sure if you were running stock struts. just a thought.

Yeah, I'm still running on my stock struts with 34K miles on the odo. I'm hopefully getting some GR2's in the next few weeks.
