Clicking sounds like it would be an axle. I've heard that clicking axles usually means they're going to fail.
I would definitely check everything though; I had a clicking once that just turned out to be a brake lining sensor loose and hitting the wheel as it rotated. lol
Actually I think I figured out what the click what. I was not able to fully torque down my passenger side engine mount when I replaced them. I’m able to get an extension and swivel socket into the limited space between the block and the engine compartment, but because of the angle created, I don’t get enough torque, and can’t turn the nut on the engine mount anymore. Has anyone come across this, and has any suggestions? Maybe I need to go out and get a special tool?

Does anybody have family/friends in London? Lmao
Trying to get a NLA part shipped out to the US, but the seller refuses to handle the international shipping because he’s out of the country. Any help would be greatly appreciated

For the top nut? I ran into similar issues. What I did was get under the car, reach up and seat the socket on the nut. Then assembled my u-joint and extensions, attached them to the socked and fished them up between the strut tower and block, then I got out from under the car and attached the ratchet to the extensions from above. Sounds kinda silly but it worked perfectly.

That’s what I did except I am able to get my socket, ujoint and extensions onto the nut from the top. I was able to tighten the nut down this way up to a point, now the torque required to tighten it further exceeds what my tower of extensions can handle and everything falls apart (imagine all the tools raining from the bottom of the engine bay).
I’m thinking maybe my ujoint is too rigid or maybe I need to try a flex extension.
Or maybe I can just ask a shop to do it next time I take my car there for what ever reason.
