I had new Axel replaced( needed cv boots was replaced axel instead on both front) and since then my car has a very rough idle, but only in drive and reverse. In park and neutral the roughness goes away. It also has a clicking type noise coming from the passenger front tire. It gets louder the slower I go and it happens on every tire revolution.

I would look at the tire rim lugs because they sound like there are loose. Here is a guide to help you
