Clicking noise from rear suspension / wheel area at low speed

Click noise when rolling from accelerating to decelerating like low to medium speed traffic like sub 30mph.



Pulled wheel off, didn't see anything that appeared loose, one of rear upper links will make clank noise if you rotate it and hit the frame bracket. Same on both sides.


I didn't get chance to check if perhaps axle nut was loose since largest socket I own is 32mm - may have to get camaro sized just in case. I'll chock wheels next time and try the 5G camaro axle clank test, but manual so harder to do.



Noise is click / clank like noise - like solid metal on metal sound.


Scheduled service visit just in case don't solve it before then.

put the wheel back on and check for play in the rear bearing assembly. The large nut is 36mm and I doubt it is loose as it is dimpled on one edge.

Noise is gone, appears axle nut was 1/4 turn loose per dealer. There was TSB for similar noise on 17's. Time to invest in 36mm axle socket.

I had a Z06 that did this as well. If I remember right I put 110Lbs on each rear axle nut and it solved the problem

CLICKING

I also have noticed a clicking sound, but mine has been coming from my driver side front wheel area and it is only when I first pull off when turning right? Any of you guys experience the same?
