    Hey
    After my 2010 sat for a couple days
    It started clicking front left side for about 30 ft
    Do I have a problem?
    Thanks

    It might be rust or other corrosion on the front rotor sluffing off.
    You can raise that corner and check the tire for free rotation or just feel the rotor after driving for a while to see if it's unusually warm.

    If it only lasts for 30 feet or so then it probably isn't anything like a CV joint or bearing - although it might not be a bad idea to poke around under the car checking things like the CV boots, brakes and such if you're able.
