Clicking noise :(

So was wondering if any of u ms3 owners had or have this problem. From a stop when i accelerate i get a clicking noise from the right side of my car or when i downshift to slow down in low gears. This only happens in low gears, as i shift higher the sound is no longer there. It sounds like it may be suspension related or possibly a loose engine mount or something along those lines but i cant find anything obvious. Ive tried revving the engine at a stop and the sound isnt there, it only makes it when im moving.

Is it a single click or multiple?

I had the same on my MS3. It is a lack of lubrication on the splines on the CV half shafts. If it is still under warranty the dealer will do it for free. It is something that they know about. I have not had a problem since. Good luck.
