I can hear a clicking type noise coming from what sounds to be the front driver's side wheel. It does it from the second that the wheel starts to move. I know that a symptom of the CV joint going bad is clicking as you turn. That's not what it's doing. It clicks the moment it starts to turn and never stops until the van is no longer moving. I'll of course take it in to get it checked, but I would love to hear somebody elses opinion before I do that, so I can have a clue if I'm being misled. Thanks!

Hello
a couple of thoughts if the wheel has a hub cap remove it and see if the noise goes away. also could be a loose brake pad but the noise usually will go away when you step on the brakes lastly check to see if something is in the tire tread, nail or rock will make noise every time it comes in contact with the road.
