I got an Alignment done, balancing done, and new tires. I am hearing clicking in the left side of the front axle, what can it be? The car also shakes after it gets to about 65 mph. It has gotten better from the alignment, but still shakes lightly. What could it be?

Could be a CV joint or bearing. Jack up car, put on stands, grasp wheel and pull/push both horizontally and vertically, looking for any play.

If play is present, then ball joints, tie rods, or control arm bushings would be suspect.

CV clicking is more pronounced when turning, but can make noise going straight.
