Default clicking feeling in floor board

ok so over the past few weeks ive noticed a clicking feeling in my floorboard only when my wheel is turned slightly. i though it was my axle u-joints, but i just changed those this past weekend. im stumped, i cant think of anything else. i know my tie rod ends and ball joints are shot, could it be those?

maybe. Jack up the front, turn the wheels a bit, and spin 'em. See what happens.

I'd do the axle just so there's weight on the suspension still...keep everything constant as if you were driving down the road.
