Clicking noise while driving

Anyone know what this could be? My wheel bearing went bad on the front drivers side. I replaced it yesterday, along with the caliper cause I popped the seal

. Now instead of howling, its making a click click click click sound, that speeds up with the speed of the tire, The whole hub was replaced and I know I did it correctly. Could the clicking be a bad CV joint, and could that have made the wheel bearing go bad in the first place?

wheel bearings jst go out over time. if it was an axle shaft it would click usually when you are turning one way or another. i think maybe your dust shield for your brakes might be bent a little bit and touching the rotor and if so just bend it out. or maybe your axle shaft came out a little bit when you swapped bearings.
