suspension problems

i've been noticing this clicking noise everytime i start driving my car from a complete stop. so the other day i had my brother drive my car so i could take a look outside and noticed the front passenger side wheel moves back and forth about 1"- 2". i got the car on jackstands and looked under the car but nothing seems broken so maybe you guys would know something about this problem. thx

if it pops its your suspension if it is an 01. if it clicks its your cv joints/axles. i bet it gets louder when your turning right???

its not a cv joints or axles because both were replaced not to long ago and i made sure my suspension was installed correct. i thought it was a alignment issue had it checked out it wasn't it. im thinking its a wheel bearing or something of that sort

I have the same issue with my 2004 civic ex. It clicks when i move from a complete stop. Have to take to the dealer and let them figure it out. Update once I do.

does it move up and down? If so then it is your bearing.

My clicking/popping is supposedly due to a bad strut assembly. Here are the details:
