I have a 1990 240sx and when i take off slowly from a stand still, I hear like a soft clicking noise from the rear.  I can't hear it when I'm going fast.  Does anybody have an idea what it could be?

Mine sounded like that when I had a screw stuck in my tire.  I'm sure this isn't the sound you're describing, though.

no, I don't think it a screw in the tire.  I was thinking maybe it could be bearings if there is any or joints on the rear.  Any suggestions?

I wish I could help you, but I'm "clicking impaired." j/k <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

could it be your rear brakes hugging the disc?

Mmm, I don't think that would be a clicking. Plus wouldn't he feel a slight hesitation as well?

he might not feel a hesitation if it is hugging a little... it might make noise at low speed but when u go fast it will be gone.... and does it do it all the time when u r going slow or just sometimes?
check the suspension.... look at the upper mount in the trunk
