Rear Clicking Sound
2006 C6 A6
I am getting a clicling sound coming from the rear wheel areas when I put the car into drive with my foot on the brake and also clicks when I go back into neutral. Seems to be more prominent on the passenger side. Was wondering if it could be the end links on the rear sway bar. Any idea?
Thanks in advance....

Sounds like the axles are moving around inside the wheel bearing splines. Could be one or both axles doing that. Try tightening the axle nuts and see if that helps. Dealer replaced both of my rear axles and both rear wheel bearings under warranty because they were worn so much replacing just one wouldn't have solved the problem and the new part would be ruined pretty quickly.
