Clicking and Clanking when Changing Gears

[Mr Vlad]

Excellent news and thanks for letting us know 👍

It's back!!! 

 

Now on the rear left side. 

I'm not sure it was the driveshaft now and thinking it could be a loose lug? 

I saw some mentions on other forums.

Any advise would be welcome.

Really doubt it could be hub nut, if you hub nut would be so loose as to hear "clicking and clacking", then you would be easily able to move the wheel sideways after lifting the car, and also it would be all over the road. Basically the wheel hub would be loose and the whole wheel assembly would be loose. 

The lug nut or bolts - again if the nut would be loose, you would be able to tell by trying to tighten them, bolts are pressed in from behind, so they can't really be loose. Also let's say 1 out of 5 is loose - that would not result in any sound, as other 4 nuts would clamp the wheel tightly. For it to make any sound, basically all 5 have to be loose and you would probably lose the wheel before you know it.

My bet would be on some sort of heatshield being loose under the car, or exhaust mount, something of that nature.
