I've got the same clicking noise coming from the back of my Syncro. It's
getting worse so maybe something will just break and then I'll know what it
is. It usually is worse during and after a left hand turn. Cold temps also
make it louder. Also it only makes the noise when power is applied. Right
turns make no noise. It sounds like one click/knock per revolution.
   Go for it you mechanisleuths, it's driving me crazy.( of course weaving
down the road with my head out the window is driving my wife crazy)
