Since this is the video area of the forums, I figured I would post this here. I am hearing a wierd clicking sound when driving my car. And I need some help trying to identify the problem at hand. If anyone could possibly help me, I would be very appreciative!!

Sounds like an axle, I only heard it while you were making turns. Take a peek at the axle boots, if they're ripped thats your problem.

I didnt hear anything at idle and for the ad's they came out of nowhere, they're getting annoying.

I had the same problem.
It ended up being a combination of a worn axles, wheel bearings, and tie rod inners.
most likely an axle or tie rod problem tho, check your axle boot like dsm1990gsx says.
and also jack up your front end, and with the car on secure jack stands check for play in the tie rod ends either, most likely inner.
make sure you take the keys out and lock the wheel in one position.
