Maybe something is horribly wrong with your cv joints?

The weight on the left hand side would be putting the cv at a different angle from usual, possibly into the area it's damaged.

But before you pull out your cv, are all the wheel nuts tight? You get a clicking noise if they are a wee bit loose.

Also, have you tried jacking the car up and rotating that wheel by hand, you might be able to see something rubbing.
