i was driving my car earlier and heard a clicking noise from the driver side of the car towards the back. it makes the noise from a stop or at low speeds, anything over 30 or when i push the clutch in it goes way. not sure what it is can anyone help me out?

Sounds very much like CV to me. When the joints start to click, putting it in nuetral or pushing the clutch in takes the load off of them and the click often goes away. Also, the speed of the click should change as the speed of the car changes. It probably is clicking over 30, just a different pitch and faster rate.

You have many options. You can swap the axles - either the clicking will move to the other side or the clicking may even stop (depending on how worn the joint is). If it still clicks, you'll want to replace it.
Or, you could try "injecting" more moly grease in the joint.
Or, you could just replace a joint, or all four. If you go this route, you may want to buy complete axles with the joints already greased - saves a LOT of time and soap.

Good luck.
