Default HELP - Strange Noise in LR

I have a 2000 6 speed Coupe. When I pull away from a stop under moderate acceleration I get a clicking noise from the area of the left rear wheel. When I let off the gas, and the weight of the car loads to the front, it clicks again. I took the brakes apart, checked the suspension, shot some lube in all the bushings, it still does it. Once the initial loading of the suspension occurs, the car doesn't make any further noise as it is being driven. Any ideas? Rear bearing? Pads shifting around in the caliper?

Check your endlinks on your sway bar. You can check the back two with the car on the ground.

Probably not, but you're close. I'm thinking axle spline in the bearing hub issue that's been addressed here many times. Cheap easy fix too.
