clicking sound at low speed?

Yeah, I heard about the rear axle thing. But in my car the sound seems to come from the front. If it's a rear axle why only at low speed and in low gear?

Because the CV joints are flexing slowly enough. There's either a flat spot on the balls for the CV joint, or in the grooves for the CV joint - that's how they go bad!
