My car makes this loud click whenever I get on the brakes and the accelerate (slowly or quickly) to make this 1 click noise every time generally when it's warm. I've checked the brakes and CV boots look fine but can they go bad in the straight ahead position? It doesn't do any of the usual click at full lock. Would it be something else?
What car? Falcon handbrakes can do this if the piston has a little mark on it.

You have a loose hubcap.
Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons
Driveshaft spline in the hub? may need loctite or similar, Volvo's do it and I remember a thread recently about VWs with the same thing. Push driveshaft spline out, apply loctite to splines, bolt shaft back in, leave for a few hrs before use (though I've found it to be ok with less than 1/2 hr).
Also, make sure the brake pad spring clips are in place and are at the correct end of the pad.

So I took out the pads but didn't solve the problem. However looking more closely in the middle of the car, I found out an exhaust mount has broken which is the sound that it makes. Now anyone in Sydney (Ryde area) that can help me spot weld this mount back in for me? Maybe be showered in beer for the job.
Forg is in the Ryde area,

He might not have a welder also he would want some high price premium beer not just tooheys new.
this reminds me of my first car and I was freaking out over a similar problem.
turned out a loose wheel weight was sliding along the rim inside my hubcap
