Ok guys....this one's a little over my head. I have a 00 GT 5spd. I got into a little fender bender a little over 9 months ago. Recently I have noticed my car makes a pretty loud click noise when I turn the wheel to the right. Sometimes I hear it when I drive over bumps. Usually if I have to turn the wheel left and then back right I hear this noise. Also the car seems to be pulling to the left. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking something in the suspension or maybe the steering, but I don't know much about the subject. Thanks for any help you can give.

It was on the front passenger side of the car. I had the steering rack replaced during the repair.

Uh, Camary is FWD, Mustang is RWD, no CV joint on a Mustang.

00_GT:
could be a messed up ball joint (attached to the A-arm) or outer tie-rod if it wasn't replaced with the rack. My suggestion is get the car up in the air and take a look underneath. Shake things around a bit on both sides, based on what you're saying it sounds like something is jacked up or severly worn that was missed in the initial repair.
