I have a Clicking noise from passenger side rear tire that has appeared after I had new: Rear end mounts, rear axles and wheel bearings installed. it is most noticeable at about 5 mph in second gear at load, sometimes while turning. I jacked up the rear and did a detailed inspection for rubbing etc. and found nothing but was able to rock the top of the passenger side tire back and forth a little making a clunking sound. Drivers side does not move at all. Is this safe to drive until I take it back to the shop?
 
Check the wheel bolts are done up to spec (110Nm?), failing that possibly a wheel bearing?
 
As above, could be the new wheel bearing faulty or not properly installed. Check the wheel bolts are tight; brake caliper carrier bolts are tight (caliper to carrier and carrier to hub); if the “wiggle” is in the suspension try to identify which component.
A click could be as simple as a stone stuck in the tyre tread.
