Need help identifing a noise

[b91857]

Hello All,

I have a clicking noise from my left rear wheel area just as I engage the clutch and the car starts to move. The noise comes in forward and reverse and happens just as the "torque" starts to move the car. The noise isn't there when the car is pushed (forward or backward) in neutral. Only with the car in gear as the "slack" is taken up by the clutch engaging. U-joint? Halfshaft? Any ideas or suggestions.

Take a look at this link:

Possibly a constant velocity joint.

A Clicking sound can be fixed by greasing the splines on the hub. C4C5specialist has talked about this in the past

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've got a few things to try tomorrow. I'll let you know what it turns out to be if I get it figured out.
