Click bump click

the sound of me on the trail. it is not constant, but its coming from the drivers side. its kind of a click sound, but i can feel it in the steering wheel. i've read that if it is a CV problem, i SHOULD be able to feel a shake in the steering when driving at HWY speeds. which I dont feel.... making hard left and right turns have always produced a LOUD clicking noise, so i cant really tell by that, either. someone/anyone ever experience such a thing? possibly could it be a blown shock? i am clueless right now, the thing that gets me is how its not constant, i can go over some bumps on a trail and it will be fine, when i go back over them on the way out, i can hear/feel it. strange.

Do you have auto hubs or manual? If manual, the CV's won't be spinning on road... so no vibrations.

Maybe get under there and grab your shocks, see if the bushings or mounting hardware is loose. Check CV's to see if boots are still good.

Make sure your wheel bearings have no play and lug nuts are tight.

Is there any type of pattern?

Example: have to be turning right, brakes on, under acceleration only, heavy passenger ... etc.
