I removed my wheels for the first time to do a brake bleed two weeks ago, and have since discovered a light clicking noise that varies with speed from the rear driver side wheel. It's audible under 25mph or so, only with the top down. I double checked the torque on the lug nuts (80 ftlbs) but that didn't help.

I have already done the rear axle nut "TSB", well before this problem occurred (never showed any symptoms but did it as preventative maintenance).

Any ideas?

Is It a repetitive clicking or does it happen every once in a while? I would check for play in the wheel and try the rear axle nut TSB again, but with a higher torque value.

Wouldn't hurt to check the tire tread

Check your output shafts.

It's a repetitive clicking. It sounds like its happening with every rotation of the tire. Found that it happens going forward in gear and neutral, but not when reversing.

Might be one of your transmission shaft bearings.

IIRC that was the sound I heard when I needed to re-torque the rear axle nut.

i thought looose hubs usually only pop when you start out? and they only click once....

perhaps a wheel bearing?

Can you move the rear rims side to side to see if the sound follows? This will help narrow down if the one wheel is at fault?

Pad deposit on the rotor? ?? Thats what I narrowed mine down too. Chirp chirp chirp. More audible near walls. Touch the brake pedal slightly and it goes away.
