<VV> CLicking noise

[Brandes, Guy]

Why not get it up on a hoist or jack stands and let the engine turn over
in gear or engine off, if it's a u-joint you should be able to hear it.

Try several slow speed turns - L & R - say in the 10 to 15 mph range
with 
the windows (top if a vert) down.  You might even turn off the IGN
through 
the turns so you can hear the other car sounds better.  If you have
wheel 
covers, have them removed at this time.  You should be able to determine

which side the sound comes from.  From what you've said so far, I do
suspect 
it is a U joint about to fail.
