Default Clicking noise on rear driver's tire

I am hearing a noise on the rear driver's tire that I want to see if anyone on this forum has experienced:

When i take off and mostly when turning left it sounds like a clicking noise. It sounds like its coming from the tire unless the sound is travelling from the diff out to the wheels. I am afraid to think that its my rear but I want to confirm-25000 on 02 s2000

Also questions:

1. Would redline diff fluid void HONDA warranty?
2. Can you buy HONDA diff fluid at the dealership? in case i have to take it in ill change it if it does void warranrty

thanks for your help

More likely a CV joint than the diff.. I doubt a lube change will have any impact. Why don't you get an opinion from the dealer?

Nail or screw in the outside of the left rear? Maybe just a rock?

a CV joint sounds less scarier. I guess I could ask the dealer about it but I cant go ask them about the redline oil.

Hey, I have experienced the same problem. I get a repetitious clicking noise when turning and driving coming from the rear somewhere. I took it to the dealer and they just gave me a lame excuse that a loose nut is in my tires. Anyhow, please fill me in if you get any news.

There's a Service News or poss a TSB for torque of the axle nuts... more than likely your condition. But there's also something about the inner joints on accel from 30+mph.... might wanna bring it in just to be sure....
