    Default Clicking noise while driving

    Alright, hoping someone can chime in here
    2013 Mazda 3 had a very faint clicking sound a while ago but it went away, as of this morning it's back and worse.
    Here's what's happening

    Clicking at slow to moderate speed (with tire rotation) while driving straight not just turning

    Happens in drive and neutral but not reverse

    Starts once the cars been driving for about 15 min

    I took to to a shop who said the cv joint/axel were fine but they could not isolate the source of the sound.

    Any ideas are appreciated

    Scott

    I was going to suggest CV joint/axle..... I had the same sound before my Driver's side Axle Broke.

    I thought it would be that as well, and I'm starting to think I should check a different shop to take a look

    I should also add it seems to be coming from the rear passenger wheel area

    wheel bolts loose ?

    Just had my 48k service breaks were checked and were fine, rear pads were the initial guess-one was loose and fixed but car is still making noise, lugs are tight.

    Alright so update for anyone who may come across this clicking sound.

    Went to have it looked at again this morning, rear break pad came loose and was sloppy. Spacer put in no clicking since.

    I was wondering what kind of clicking sound is it? as ive experiencing some weird sound coming from my rear passenger side for my 2011 mazda 3 sedan, seems like a plastic that's stuck or something whenever I am driving at any speed. but sometimes the sound doesnt appear. and its pretty annoying tho, but i cant figure it out if its thesame issue that scott is experiencing ..

    Best way to describe it was like a card in a bicycle spoke except more metal like

    So what do u think is that sound? i dont think my pads are loose cause i got no problems on braking infact the vehicle was serviced 6mnths ago before i bought it at 75km .. pads and rotor were replaced.
