05' 9-3 front clicking

Hello, I just bought my Saab 9-3 in April of 09'! I am loving it so far. I have wanted a Saab now for over 10 years!!! Anyway there are a few problems with the car, as you would find with most used cars.
First and the problem I can not figure out is that we have a clicking sound coming from the front of the car. It almost seemed as if it was a CV joint or Ball joint, but after inspecting the car further it seems as if the sound is coming from in the middle of the front of the car?
It happens when you move forward, backward, doesn't matter if the wheel is tightly or loosely turned, if you are going super slow it doesn't make the sound, but if you release the brake just enough to allow the car to move on it's own it makes the sound.
When we were looking under the car, we noticed that when we switched from drive to reverse the exhaust appears to move and drop? Is this normal?
Does anyone have any thoughts? I am taking it in for a used car check in a week and a half. But I thought that I would start a diagnostics too. This way I am not completely in the dark.
Thank you for your help!
