Default Weird clicking

Hey guys,

My 15' is riding a bit differently lately and I just wanted a second opinion on the matter. It's at 20k miles at the moment.

I'm hearing clicking sounds on my rear driver wheel area whenever I change momentum of the car (i.e. stopping, throttling, speed bumps) and my guess is, is a bad/loose axle nut or loose brake carriage. At first, I thought it was just the brakes sticking to the rotors but eventually, I heard the clicks just from throttling. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this with their RCF/other cars and whether or not the servicing is covered under the power-train warranty.

Cheers!

Edit: It's a single click. When I put the car in reverse, it's a single click. When I upshift, it's a single click.

I had a clicking noise just last week after my brake job....somewhow the metal backing plate of the right rear wheel that holds the brake pads in... became crooked as it sat holding the rear pads in. The metal plate ( on which the 2 pins keep tension on) caused a clicking noise at every rotation....I simply took off the wheel, took out the pins and realigned the plate. The noise is now gone..just a thought
