I'll take a stab at this. Pretty much everytime you hear a clicking noise when you turn the wheel and rolling its the CV joints going out on you. If you hear it when you turn right, then its the left CV joint and vice versa.

is it still the cv joint when turning the wheel in "park"?

Hmmmm, if its doing it in park then I would have to say something is wrong with the power steering system. Maybe the pump. Not sure.

this is not for the car in the pic its for my beater i bought it with the front end slighty moved back(driver side). i just change the radiator support and realined the frame . could it be the crossmember underneath cause its slightly moved?on the side of the tires in the front i can stick 4 fingers in smooth on one side and squeeze alittle on the other side.

Liklely the rack since you have a p/s leak.

OK , yesterday i saw power steering fuild spilling out from the reservoir tank(alot) when turing the wheel. took it to a shop today to see what was wrong. the mechanic said it wasnt the pump that was makin it spill out it. he said the only way it will spill out from top if the tank was filled up over the marker which me and my brother did. we filled it up cause my steering wheel felt kind of rough when turning and also kept hearing that knocking noise when turning too.we tought if we put more it might help it or stop it from that knocking nosie. the mechanic felt the knocking when turning the wheel and said it feels like its the rack and something else making that knocking when steering. the knocking nosie i have is more of a feel on the wheel then a loud knock from outside of the car. hope u guys get what im tring to explain.
