Thanks! I looked up a Tech Bulletin on this issue and it said the noise was the stabilizer control/bar link. It might be cracked. I found out it is not expensive to fix. Only $88 from a dealer. I also read another thread where it might be that the spark plug wires were loose. I pushed down on all four and then drove for a couple of miles. No noise. Not sayin' it's fixed but the click did stop...for now. Thank you!

If it stops clicking when you apply the brakes I'm willing to bet it's the brake pads. Some aftermarket brake pads are sometimes not cut correctly and have too much "play" so they can move up and down. Or the little metal sliders that go between the top and bottom of the brake pad backing and the calipers could have fallen out. Check the pads.

I had that issue two years ago, it was clicking after I replaced the pads. Went back to it again and reseated the pads, expanded the holding clips and that fixed it. I knew it was the brake pads because it materialize in a cyclical motion at slow speeds then disappears once the brake is applied.
