Weird clicking on rear axel - 2000 SE

This morning noticed a light clicking sound coming from the rear driver side wheel. Driving from 0-50 or so, it sounds the same. After about 4 miles of driving the sound stopped.

But it returned when I was backing into a parking spot this morning. I had the front wheels turned all the way to the left, and then backed in. The sound returned at this point.

Anyone have an idea what’s going on. The rear axel having problems, or the steering column….beats me… The only change lately is a Oil change I got a week ago @ JiffyLube.

Well I do need to replace the muffler in about month or two. And the shop said that the bracket mounts have pretty much rotted off and will need to be redone by welding new ones on....

But, could it be something else.....?
