You need ne halfshafts.

The clicking you are hearing is play in the constant velocity joint (CV). I would replace it very soon, it is a HUGE saftey issue.

I aggree to replace a clicking CV joint. I just don't know how you consider it a huge safety issue. I have had one go on me, there is no loss of control, just loss of power. You can still steer and brake without any difficulty.
