Used to have a Probe that did the same thing. Everytime you get going it clicks...also when it turns...that's the CV joint. I was going to replace mine on the Probe before it got totaled. Get a shop manual and a new CV joint and it shouldn't be too hard to replace.

OK, the part that is bad is the CV joint. It is part of the axle, when you fix it you replace the entire axle. Rebuilt axles cost around $50 plus core.

It's a pretty easy job if nothing else gets stuck or breaks while you are replacing it.

I'll add to the pile by saying CV joint. It could also be wheel bearing but that's a less likely problem. Check the CV boots on both axles... they're the accordianed rubber sleeves on the axles. Most likely one's torn up and leaking some heavy black lubricant.
