weird clicking issues.
So the only mod i have done this year has been installing wheel spacers(dont think it the problem but i could be wrong)
It started a couple months ago with the front right passenger wheel making a clicking sound. ..... ... I was like hmm that not good. i thought it was the wheel spacer, which once i removed it was still there. During the time of checking the front i check the driver side rear wheel and only check the stuff i had changed out ever on the car( stance true coil over, camber arm, and toe arm.) Well after about 2 months the front right click went away but now i got a weird clicking sound coming from the driver rear tire now(the one i checked.) frankly idk what could be causing it. im thinking it could be maybe sense the car has 37,xxx miles and the breaks are still the oem nissan ones that maybe it there low break pad sound that lets the driver know there about to go out
i need some advice

I don't think there are low pad indicators on OEM pads, if they do have them it's a squeak not a click. I may have missed it but when does the clicking happen? Is it a fast click or a slow click? From what I read it could be the axle click or loose axle nut or possibly a bent dust shield (you can just push it back).. Also check for nails and rocks in your tire it the clicking increases in speed when you move faster.

well the front right click was very quick and could hear at high way speeds when next to a wall or car. the rear one is a slow click and and usually at slow speeds or while turing at slow speeds.

Your description of the rear sound seems to be the rear axle click. I had the exact problem as you described it, see link. Read the whole thing before you start, it will save you some time not to have to take out the drive shaft. I did mine yesterday, the hardest part is to take off the big 32mm nut. Took me about 2 hrs total.
