Clicking noise when driving over 40 mph - Passenger side
 
A clicking noise from front passenger side, when driving straight when speed is over 40 mph. There's no noise at lower speeds.

Vehicle: 2002 Honda Civic

1. the CV boots are good (not torn, or any damage)
2. No humming noise of any kind
3. Brakes are good.

Any ideas?

SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
--------------------------

The mudguard was loose and missing ONE screw at bottom. So when the velocity of the vehicle increased, air turbulence caused it to vibrate and strike against the lower part of fender. This caused the "clicking" noise which is similar to other issues such as CV joints, ball joints, wheel bearing etc.

In conclusion, there are two ways to find the problem. First make sure nothing is rattling when you strike with your palm in the wheel well area and screws are not missing. Secondly, place the car on jack stands are drive to replicate the problem.

David, thank you for the update. We all learned something from you and this thread.

On the other hand, some threads are really a waste of time. Ezone, etc, spent lots of time helping the OP. but after all that, he was no where to find or saying if it worked. oh well.
