When you say move the wheel back and forth do you mean in and out on the hub or more like a wobble back and forth?

Could be tie rod ends when you turn there may be play in them and the click you hear is them moving at the joint.

Hope this helps.

I could be wrong but it may be a wheel bearing but I'm no expert. Anyone else on there have an idea on it?
