What is causing the loud clicking noise when I step on the brakes or turn in my 98 Neon?

Your little Neon is a front wheel drive. There are two constant velocity joints on each axle. When they wear out as they normally do after about one hundred thousand miles and up, they begin to click whenever you turn the front wheels left or right. The clicking eminates from between the wear surfaces of the drive components and can get quite loud.
If you aren't particularly gifted at mechanical work you will definitely want a good shop to do the replacement for you. Don't delay-it'll only cost more later.........Good luck and God bless.

Check the brakes for worn pads. The pad backer scraping the rotor is the most common cause of this type of noise.
