Toyota yaris 2003 1.0 vvt 82k miles
There have been a few issues from the driver side so Ive only been working on this side. I needed to replace the wheel bearing, drive shaft and wishbone which have all been done. The problem that has arisen now is that there is a single click noise when the car speeds up or slows down quickly, or when changing down a gear.
Normally Id be thinking its a cv joint or one of the lower arm bushings but these are all new.

Can anyone suggest any other cause?

Check and make sure your suspension is nice and tight. It could be shifting slightly.

how do you mean suspension is tight?

check the top mount bolts underneath the cowl if you can, and remove the front tires and make sure everything holding the hub on is tight also.
