Hi guys I have developed a drivers side rear wheel click when in drive or reverse. It seems like it happens every 1 second or one wheel rotation.

i have already changed my axle nuts out to the new style.

when the car is cold and has had time to cool down it does not make this noise. It only happens when the car has been driven around 20 minutes and is warm. From there on out it’s a constant click.

could it be a bad axle? I only have 20,000 miles on the car.

It could be a loose spring in the parking brake assembly behind the rear rotor.

I will have to check that out.

would me driving the car and getting it warmed up start to cause that clicking noise in the spring?

Not sure if temperature would have an effect to start the clicking noise.

Im thinking bad cv joint. But at only 20,000 miles seems strange

I would get it off the ground and get under it. You need more data.

Spin the tires one at a time listening. If you have access to a lift you could lift it quick when warmed up. I am sure it would become more clear then what the issue is.

yeah I have to try that. I spin the tires by hand but I could not recreate the noise
