The issue is the loud clicking, the hum is from my aftermarket exhaust.. rear bearings are fine. As for lowering recently no I have not nor do I plan on it. Cv joints and rear differential are an option at this point. Any other thoughts?

It might be your mid pipe hitting the cross bar. I had this clicking sound when I would drive and sometimes on cold starts (car revs higher) and finally figured out it was the mid pipe hitting the cross bar (longer one) there is a small one and a longer one. The mid pipe was like 3-5mm away from it. You can remove the cross bar to see if that's it. I used some exhaust wrap around the cross bar right where it was hitting. No more clicking sound. I believe all the rubber exhaust hangers are little stretched out and need to be replaced. They are expensive at $30 a piece and there are six of them.
