A
. The most common clicking noise is caused by a failing (lack of lubrication) constant velocity joint. Once the car is driven the lubricant spreads around and quiets the noise. When the car
returns home and sits in cooler nighttime temperatures the joint clicks until the lubricant is spread around. At this point you may need to leave the car with a shop overnight to determine the exact cause of the noise.
