Unknown clicking sound...suspected drivetrain problem

I just drove my Typhoon for the first time this year. At about ten miles per hour I noticed a clicking sound coming from the front end (I think). I thought it was my brakes, because it didnt seem to affect the ride or performance. Then I proceeded to turn. I then heard another series of clicks and I felt a rythmic banging coming from the front end. I fear it is a drivetrain problem, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
Also, is there anyone in the suburban Detroit area that would be able to help/fix the problem?
Thanks for any help.

Check if all the nuts on the front wheels are tight... I was hearing some clicking sounds and expected the worse... when I checked the nuts were so loose I could tighten them with my hands. I tighted them and the clicking was gone...

I had a clicking sound coming from my front wheels.. It turned out to be the center cap O-rings.... Try driving around without your center caps and see if it goes away... I guess that they get smaller as they rot/age.. eventually they get small enough that the center cap flops around even if the bolt that holds it in place is tight...
