Default clicks from rear end

I'm getting clicking coming from right rear wheel area. It clicks 1-4 times as I start off with the steering wheel pointed right - then goes away. It does not do it, when the wheel is pointed left. And, only occasionally when I'm starting off in a straight line. I've heard it may be axle nut torque??? It isn't spring spacers, I checked...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

P.S. where are the axle nuts exactly?

The typical axle nut issue is exactly one pop when changing directions (fwd/rev). 1-4 pops, and only when turning right sounds more like something in the rear drivetrain. Diff/torsen or a cv joint that's going.

Doesn't hurt to try retorqueing the axle nut as a first step, though...

Does it always click 1-4 times or only 1 sometimes? Does it do it at every stop? Does it always do it when making a right? A new axle nut is a good place to start and grease the surface of the nut wear it contacts the hub. Also making sure all mounts are good as well. Good luck!
