changed springs but...

...now there's a clicking sound coming from the left that i hear everytime i turn my wheel to the left.

what happened was my axle fell when we were changing the left strut so we had to put it back in place. we disassembled the brake caliper and moved the cv boot so we could get the axle back in place. after putting everything back together, we took it for a test drive and we heard a clicking sound everytime we turn the wheel to the left. it doesn't make that sound when it's parked or going slow... only when we get to about the speed limit. we also started to notice a rubbing sound when turning the wheel back to the right. has this happened to anybody else? any help or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks!

sounds more like the bushings are cut up, and you gear that clicking sound when it goes off of rubber onto metal and back onto rubber.
