I had that clicking sound in my 82 Buick Skyhawk (real cherry) and one day I was turning the corner to go up the drive way, then there was this "pop" and the car started rolling backwards, even as the engine revved up. I got out and there was ball bearings and metal all over the ground. It was the CV joint.
Are you getting a vibration or shake? If so what speeds?
Tie rod ends are really easy to tell if they are making noise. So I would rule that out assuming a reasonable mechanic looked at it. CV seems the most likely cause. A bad CV should not damage wires unless it came apart in which case you would know it was a problem. Its really hard to say what it is with out looking at it. There are a lot of joints that can dry out. I would check how much grease is under the boots of the cv axles. As far as your brake problem it really sound like ABS malfunction which should make a code pop up but not always. Dont let the dealer start throwing parts at your vehicle, that is what they are well known for. half *** diag and then start replacing everything. If they dont drive your vehicle you know they are doing a good diag on your car. Give them really detailed explanation of everything you have noticed.

Ok, finally got some answers!! Apparently the noise Im hearing is the intermediate steering shaft, which is no longer simply re-lubbed to fix, rather replaced (Im being quoted 185 parts and labor, not bad if I were to guess). The Traction/Stability control warning lights are coming on, according to them, because the Yaw Sensor needs replaced ( to which they want 415 parts and labor to fix!!) Im not so sure about paying for that.
That is good news to know what it is and what it costs.
