clicking noise

I have just noticed a clicking noise which seems to be comming from the front right fender. I thought I had something stuck in my tire but I could find anything wrong with the tires. Anyone noticed the same cliking noise?

CV Joint? Look behind the wheel and see if your boot is torn. Grease from the joint may have dried out if the boot is torn.

It gets slung out from the velocity of the spinning CV shaft. After some time without the proper amount of grease, the joint usually starts to hum as you are driving. You will also see a long line of grease on the fender liner that was slung from the area of the damaged boot.
