Clicking Sound in Front End

So I've had this issue since I purchased the vehicle used back in 2012. It had just over 13k miles on it at the time but the clicking sound kinda came and went. I noticed it when I put the car in drive after backing out of the driveway. Best way to describe is a click. Well I've been on aftermarket springs since summer of 2012 and the click has gotten worse. I notice it now when I take off at a light if I gun or when I put the car in reverse. It's just click...sometimes on the right side, sometimes on the left...sometimes both sides. Any ideas? I'm thinking it's something in the struts.

Mine does, too! I have chosen to just say "H'mmm" every time I jockey the car around a parking lot changing from D to R and R to D.

Everything is tight, the tires wear evenly, brakes straight. I have checked everything. A while ago Mike posted (it might have been a TSB) about adding a washer between the CV outer end and the wheel hub.

The dealer won't touch mine because of my aftermarket suspension...good to know I'm not the only one.
