Default Strange Clicking........

There seems to be a small clicking noise coming from the left-rear side of the car at a slow roll. Sometimes it doesn't click at all (unless I just don't hear it) but it gets loud when I drive it after washing it, and when driving in the rain.

If anybody knows what the hell i'm talking about...help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it sound like a "creeking" noise? An almost metal to metal grinding,,,also apparent if you push down on the fender to "bounce" the car.....If so, you may wanna greeeze up your sway bar bushings. Hope that helps.

really hard telling, kind of sounds like one of those little micro cars when you wind them up...the clicking dissipates over 15mph. If only I had a high lift to raise it up and spin the tire.

My car does the same **** drives me nuts.. Only left turn click, click ,click sounds like hell. I am thinking it is a left axle bearing. Which on the camaros gm smart idea was to make them both one piece the axle and the bearing. So if that is what it is you have to buy a new axle.175.00 at the dealer then you have to put it on.......... Sux..
