Rear Clicking Noise

Lately the right rear area of my car has been making a clicking noise. It disappears with at higher speeds. I cannot get a diagnosis from anyone as to what the problem is. Has anyone experienced any problems such as this. I do have aftermarket rims on, but i didn't have a problem with them all last summer thanks.

It sounds more like something is loose than mechanical.

Well, my car also has a sound coming from it and it's for sure something that's loose. The sound on my car is coming from underneath the rear. My guess is that something has loosened from the last accident I was in.

All I can say is get under the car and feel for loose parts, that's what I'm going to do.

Check the e-brake set-up on the rears...the clips sometimes break and can cause the clicking.
