Well, if it wasn't happening before you went to work on it, I'd revisit every bolt you took off and check for some loose lug nuts, a wheel that isn't TIGHT (steel or alum) will pop as the car rolls... don't ask me how I know

Yeah, its one of those things that's so simple that you forget to do (tighten again after it gets set on the ground)...don't get me started... I recently found a pair of scissors wedged between the steering shaft and the fender well after investigating a slight scratching noise while turning. I had added some wire loom under the hood and used the scissors to cut the stuff...I must have missed them while cleaning up.... oooops.
MrKidd, I hope it's something as simple as that.....I'd much rather realize I forgot something than find out I have more money and time to spend. The point is that it's probably something simple unless there are a few 300 foot peg leg burnouts you aren't telling us about

ERrrrrrr i pulled the tire off tighted everything back down and the sound is still there....but i noticed that it only comes when im appling the gas ...so that makes me think it might be something wrong in the pumpkin.I didnt really want to buy a rear end already....time to hit the junk yard...
its the darn hubcap...i pulled the tabs out but its still making that clicking sound...he any you had this problem and whats a good way to make this stop.....I just pulled my hubs off for now...but i miss them already...lol Could a hubcap be warped and will never stop clickin..? it goes on really snug and it has no movement...
Try this ... wrap a round or 2 of duct tape arond the teeth on the cap. I dont know what kind of hubcaps you have but the tape worked for us at a tire store. Most times it was those factory locking hubcaps on 80 and 90 models.
