I think its ur half shafts, the O rings or spacers on the half shaft broke in, not broken and it has a lil play back n forth on start up toque so u wanna fix it? this is what u do:

1)get a 32mm long socket with 1/2 in torque wrench or above
2) remove wheel and then remove a metal pin that acts like a stopper for the 32mm.
3) tighten the 32mm nut to 177lb of torque
4) put all back together, test should be no clicking noise.
