a few months ago a loud click/knock started but only if it is raining. when i lurk forward it clicks and then reclicks into place when i come to a stop. the reclicks the other way when i go. i went under the car but cant seem to find anything. its on the right front side..
anyone have any ideas?

you check your axles? cv boots might have a pin hole and all the grease oozed out.
A sign is when you check under... there's black/darkgrey glob sprayed everywhere either on the block or firewall and dirt is collecting.

no holes in the cv boot... and that wouldnt happen only in the rain if it was the axle

the only thing i can see it being is a bushing, but dont know how to check... i have hard race suspension bushings and advanced auto lower balljoint, wonder if that could be it... but i dont understand why it only happens in the rain
