Default Click when turning! I dont think a cv Joint

Hi All-

so I have a 1995civic ex coupe riding on some 205-50-15. a while ago i noticed some noise when going over bumps and also when turning. Well anyways I replaced my upper control arms with some OEM and the bushings were all bad, however the noise when going over bumps stopped. Now when turning I hear the same noise. it's like a one time click, so I dont think it's the cv Joint. The noise come from drivers side, also when braking there is also the same one-click noise. What do you think this could be? if it was the cv joint, the nboise will continue clicking when turning, and mine it's just one click...

How about jacking it up and have someone turn it while you listen?

perform a shakedown test, google up how to perform one

i'm guessing it may be a bad lower ball joint
