Default click noise coming from the rear end?

when im pulling out of first gear, it happens when i am going from a dead stop, it sounds like its coming from the right side of rear end area....could it possibly be the rear axle? i dont know how to describe the sound but its an annoying click....please help.

Could be just the axle nut needing to be re-torqued. Had that issue on my 2003 just recently.

Yep more than likely the axle/hub nuts, its a common problem that you can normally fix yourself as long as you have a torque wrench big enough!

Mine wouldnt come off with an airgun at first though so not everyone has it easy.

If it still clicks afer that it could be the CV joints.

Well you may as well try tightening the hub nuts first seeing as its free or then change them for the sakes of a few $ a side.

If its your wheel bearing like Julie has suggested and it starts to turn into a loud whirring or clattery, grinding noise then do it ASAP unless you want to risk the wheel hub sheering off driving down the road!
