Please see one of these service centers in order to resolve your problem. I just can't even venture a guess except to say that it could be any number of things on your rear axle. Perhaps you can go and take a look-see and check for anything obvious. We've seen anything from broken shock towers, spring clips, loose U bolts to suspect universal joints. Possibilities could include problems with the caliper and rotor - the service center should be able to help you.

I had the same problem. Took several trips to find out that the wife placed some pans in the kitchen that would clink once in a while. Sure sounded like it was coming from the rear axel though.
