Arrow rear end noise.....

so my s2000 has 120k on chassis...
new completle rear spindles...
t1r axle spacers...
uk spec alignment and new tires
new axle nuts torqued 220lbs
for some reason i get a weird clicking chunk noise coming from the passenger rear...
the clutch i have is very shitty and waiting for tax return to take care of this...
wondering if there is anything else i could look at? everything is torqued properly
maybe a bad axle? drive shaft? idk i guess it would be the best to get the clutch done... and said... then go from there but would like to see any other areas of concern.
car is perfectly sound before 50mph and sound if power is steadily aplied as when u let off u hear a chunking weird noise... more so windows up and top and up and quiet u can hear it any feedback would be great.....

you said the noise is coming from your rear end? have you recently installed new gears? if so are you sure that the proper backlash is set in the rear end

no the rear end is 100 percent stock coming from the passenger rear...
almost like an axle. or drive shaft because only makes noise when i apply power and let of in a high gear at cruising speeds....

check the bolts on your axle spacers...i had huge problems with mine where they came loose and eventually fell out...super scary...check to see if all your bolts are there and that they are tight...
