Default wierd click when braking and accelerating

hi guys. i had a rotation done about 3 weeks ago. after the rotation, i've been hearing a wierd click coming from the right front wheel. i'm not sure if something's wrong with the suspension or if something's wrong with the brakes. i had stoptech slotted rotors and axxis brake pads installed about 3-4 months ago. the clicking only started after the tire rotation as stated earlier. anyone experience this before? any tips? i'm hoping the guys at the shop are doing anything suspicious.

your brake dust shield may have gotten bent slightly when the wheel was put back on so it could be hitting your rotor. hopefully it's something small like that. check that your lugs are tight too. could be a bad wheel bearing or cv boot though.

worst case.. bearing.. if its a consitant noise.. does the wheel shake at higher speeds?

cv boot if it happens while you are turning.. best way to tell if its that..

as far as after you wheel allignment and it start.. most likely dust shield.. just jump under and check. if touching.. bend that hoe!

Noises under accel and decel are more than likely CV problems.
