Please help! Trying to Identify Clicking Sound
Hey there, forgive me I'm not posting correctly but need some guidance (newby here).
Trying to identify clicking sound. Details:
Clicking is continuous and methodic (sounds almost like a duller 300 beat per minute metronome), rear right wheel area, seems to be under rear-right seat and is not so audible from left wheel same area, only clicking/audible when car is at idle and when accelerator pressed at idle sound goes away and returns after settling but no sound other than at idle. The very odd time, the clicking may stop if you're listening long enough, but only for a couple seconds.
I have gathered this could be fuel pump, especially in colder climate. Or, CV Joint, or loose/missing Parking Break parts/hardware. I just picked the car up two weeks ago. I didn't notice but it is easy to miss if you have radio on or not familiar with the cars typical sound.
Please provide your expertise and guidance. It is driving me insane because i cant stop subjecting myself to listening to it. Haha.
Thanks
