Clicking sound coming from rear driver side brake caliper

I use anti-seize compound for lubricating the axle stubs. The clicking, or creaking sometimes, has become a norm in a RWD with independent rear suspension after the very thin lubrication

I use anti-seize compound for lubricating the axle stubs. The clicking, or creaking sometimes, has become a norm in a RWD with independent rear suspension after the very thin lubrication applied at the factory has long evaporated. My Corvettes did it, my Zs did it, my V did it, a friend's GS still does it.

The fix is easy to do, it just requires a very large socket, a breaker bar, and a properly-calibrated torque wrench. If a dealer could do it without any charge to you, take the car to them. Otherwise, it takes about half an hour to do both sides.
