Clicking Noise at wheels?

I have a clicking noise at rear wheels seems like both sides. Cannot put my finger on the sound. Brakes, Tranny etc everything seems tight underneath car. Have a listen.

Take your centercaps off and retry it. They may be loose.

could be your center caps... worse case senario is one of your spokes might be cracked or a crack somewhere in the wheel

Mother, I had the exact same noise. My lug bolts were shorter than the factory lugs, causing them to loosen (twice before I replaced them). You might check all of the lug bolts if you haven't already. Good luck.

stock wheel bolts are the same size all around...

Ive accidently put spacer bolts (longer) on the rear and noticed that if its long enough it can touch the e-brake mechanism inside the wheel rotor caps... just a long shot.

I do not have spacers, but I imagine I could measure them to one of the front bolts for size.

Ok wheels off and up on stands at idle first gear video's. But still cannot isolate, not sure if it starts in tranny and works to wheel through shaft or maybe CV joints which I know nothing about. It does not seem like pads they are not grabbing and there is not any clicking vibration when I touch the calipers. The noise is more pronounced in passenger wheel. ??

might have to disconnect the drive shaft to isolate it even further...

Follow up:

Well it's not the tranny, but the CV Joints inner and outer both sides. They had hardley any grease and when removing the boots found water coming out out of them so I cleaned repacked and reinstalled. Ran through 2-3 gears and no noise so far, but it is still on jacks. The bad thng is it took all day and man was it messy and when I finished I forget to get hand cleaner or should I say body cleaner. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
