Clicking Noise When In Reverse

[SoquelDude]

Hi!

I've been hearing a clicking noise when I'm in reverse. Not sure where it's coming from, but could be most likely from the rear (CV joints?).

I'm also not sure of where to start to look, so any help would be appreciated. Also, tips on troubleshooting will be helpful.

TIA!

Hello, if you don’t know when your CV Joints were last serviced, that would be a good place to start. Assuming noise is in the rear? Stock brakes are fairly easy to inspect by pulling the wheels and brake drums. Automatic or manual transmission? Has it been serviced? Stock rims or aftermarket? Are the lugs torqued to spec? Interesting the noise is only in reverse. Maybe find an open space and try backing in circles with someone walking on either side to listen. The purpose would be to try and better isolate. Good luck.

My 88 AT would bind a bit when backing out of my driveway against a slight grade. New CV joints fixed it.
