1) Clicking noises when turning usually means a ball joint, but could be a host of things. I suggest you get it checked out quickly because if something on the suspension breaks it's usually when you are giving it some beans in a corner and the outcome is almost inevitable.

2) I don't touch the pedal in mine...just turn the key and it does it all on it's own. (2004 3R with 15k miles)

HTH...

CV more likely to be a "rumble" at any time when driving.
Clicking is classic ball joint/hub carrier yes
