    Clicking sound coming from the rear

    I've had this issue since I bought the car.
    When turning goig about 15+mph I get a clicking sound coming from the rear left side wheel or somewhere around that area. It only happens when I turn right.

    This I have replaced to "fix" the clicking.
    Driveshaft with good csb and new flex disc
    Subframe bushings
    trailingarm bushings
    differential
    rebuilt the axles
    shocks
    shock mounts
    brakes
    brake lines



    Things I know I need to replace
    rotors
    brake shoes
    maybe springs
    swaybar links


    Where should I start to check?
    Wheel bearing?

    I would check for Dolphins



    Are you running factory wheels? Or aftermarket. Ive heard a few aftermarket wheels that dont centre locate and making bizarre clicking sounds,

    Normally I would have said a CV on your axle but you say you have rebuilt?

    if she goes for that, astroglide up your pole, have her lay on her stomach and slip it in slowly and bury it to your balls and leave it there until she relaxes. once she is used to it slam that ass like a screen door.

      I'm running stock baskets.
      I think it's missing one lug nut
      axles where the first thing on the list. Every shop I went said axles were making the noise paid 190 to get them rebuilt they are good as new no play.
      So for sure it can't be diff and axles.

      Would loose nuts cause that?
      Pads?
      I'm going to tighten the nuts more and maybe add the missing nut

      it's just driving me crazy my being ableto figure it out. Not even shops
      most suck! I don't trust most Most
      now

        Are you using longer than standard wheel bolts? Sometimes if the wheel bolts are too long they can click on the E-brake cable while rotating.

          I have had that happen with aftermarket locking/security bolts but usually happens all of the time, not just when turning as described, weird.

          I would definitely checking to see if they are tight and adding the 4th

          I have also had a diff that was on its way out that used to click in reverse before it gave in,

            They may be too long.

            or you can get studs that I am selling :) The studs thread in a fixed amount so they will not be too long. see my sig (I have locks too)

              is it a click like tick tock or more of a crunching? does it change with speed? off and on throttle? turning to one side will put more pressure on one side causing a bad wheel bearing to be more noticeable.

              first i would try to get that 4th lugbolt. then check if there is any plastic of metal thats touches anything that rotates upon suspension compression.

              to check the rear wheel bearing lift the car up and rotate the wheels. should be smooth. also try and wiggle them by holding the tire on opposite ends and moving your arms back and forward. if theres any play the bearing is going bad. one thing that i did, which is questionably safe, is i jacked the rear up and ran the car in first with the tires off the ground obviously. and i use a long thin metal bar and put it against the hub area of each wheel. it will be noticeable if its the bearing.

              i guess its also possible that the axles that you rebuilt were beyond repair and could still be making the sound.

                  I'm using oem lug nuts.
                  It's a tick tick tick tick sound
                  before I rebuilt the axles I had a thump sound when turning
                  and then they were rebuilt and it stopped


                  I'll take the wheel off and check for anything that can be touching anything
                  last week I changed my pads didn't see anything from the ordinary.
                  I had a shop check my bearings about a year ago they said they were still good
                  I'll double check after work.

                  Would brake shoes cause a click sound?
                  I think mine aren't ajusted properly.

                  I'll update later When I Jack the car and heck the bearing.
                  Anythig else to check while I'm in there?

                    When my longer bolts caused ticking in the rear I adjusted the cable at the front of the e-brake (at the handle) and it fixed it. The cable was really loose.

                      When I put my hand brake up it goes really far I'll adjust it also and see it that helps.

                      Thanks :)

                        Click up the ebrake handle a click or two and see if it goes away.

                          adjusted the ebrake and drove around i didnt hear the click but i have to
                          check since i only went around the block once....
                          hope it was that that was causing the clicking
