Q: Clicking sounds from the rear left end
Hello. I went to several shops for the issue I've been having with my car but nobody could diagnose what the cause actually is. My car starts making clicking sounds, especially while I am making turns to the right or when I increase the speed. It seems to be coming from the left side area at the rear end of the car. The clicking occurs occasionally. What could it be? I appreciate your help.
