Default Metalic clicking noise

When I go approx 5 MPH i hear a metalic clicking noise in what appears to be drivers side rear wheel. It happens while in gear or in neutral and coasting, once I go above 5mph it stops. Any guesses of cause?

Obviously in the right rear drive train. Could be many different things.

Place the car on a lift and give serious tugs to the components. If the slightest play is detected, investigate further.

Do you have metal centercaps by chance? If so, remove them and test...
