Default Help help clicking noise ????

Frist, I don't know shitz about engine
Recently, I heard weird clicking noise on the front ( passenger side ) when the car starting moving (1st gear and R) and slowing down (down gear). I don't know what's wrong with my car.

From About.com (http://autorepair.about.com/library/...bldef-089b.htm)

Definition: A Constant Velocity Joint is one that provides consistent drive shaft speeds regardless of the operating angle of the joint. CV joints are used primarily in on the drive shafts of front-wheel drive vehicles, and they come in two basic varieties: the Rzeppa ball type joints (which you'll find on the outer end of the drive shaft) and tripod joints (which are used on the inner end).

Best call up your local mechanic and ask him/her. In a nutshell, it is not cheap to repair but also not that expensive either.

Also how many miles do you have on that car and are the cv boots torn?
