left rear tire clicking.
I put new wheels on my car a couple months ago and everytime I press on the gas or the brake I hear a click noise coming from the left rear wheel area. I had the place that put the wheels on check it out and they couldnt find anything. I had them do an alignment and tighten the wheels pretty good cause I thought it could be loose and it stopped for a couple hours and came back. Its only does it once when you press on the gas or brake and has a metal clicking sound. Anyone know what this could be?

Inspect your e-brake cable to be sure it is not making contact with a TPMsensor. This has to be done with the weight of the car on the wheels.

I had the same issue when I got my new rims and it was the valve stem being too long and it was hitting the ebrake line... switched to to a smaller one and issue gone...

Let me know how things go for you two (navyblue and cjordan). Hopefully it's a simple fix.

the inner air nipple is making contact with either the e-brake line or this.....forgive i dint know the name of the part...........(it was making contact just to the left of the bolt. I also used steel circle clamps to hold back the e-brake cable. Hope this helps because it drove me crazy too!!)

Contact Forgeline. They use a GM compatible sensor that is low profile outside the rim. Problem solved.
