I live in Venezuela, and this shyster "fixed" my car...he said he replaced the ball joints, bearings, cv joints....but now my car sounds terrible.
I also have a clunk sometimes when i am accelerating, and I take my foot off the gas pedal quickly.
Any ideas?

Sounds like the CV joint is going away. I'd take the vehicle back and ask for another mechanic to check it out more thoroughly. If the CV was replaced and it's still clicking, there is a problem somewhere in the installation (not done properly, worn or used joint was installed, or wrong CV joint was put in the vehicle).

Sounds like a righthand CV shaft (axle) to me. Perhaps an incorrect one was installed?
Karen H. is wrong, there sure are strut bearings on most strut-equipped vehicles that allow the strut and knuckle to turn with the wheels. It's part of how the strut attaches to the strut tower. If they go bad, they would show up as rough, uneven movement in the steering, or might possibly prevent the steering wheel from coming back to center once you release the wheel. So, if you put it into a righthand turn, normally you would release the wheel and it would recenter. With bad strut bearings, the wheels would continue pointing to the right and the driver has to bring the wheel back to center on his own.

Both of those symptoms point to cv joint. It is the joint on the side youy are turning--inner or outer. He may have replaced only the boot--or replaced your axle with another worn out one--or likeliest of all--done nothing.
Re: Karen_Ha...: there is too a strut bearing. (NEVER listen to women! Awright you know that.)

If not the CV joints, possibly motor mounts, or upper strut bearings.

it's your cv joint...good idea if you take it back before you end up with a broken axel in the middle of nowhere. Once your axel busts it's alot more costly to fix.

CV axles. No question about it. He may have 'replaced' them and not lubricated them.
