Check your u joints on your drive shaft. theres a good chance the rear one is worn out. it might not feel loose but drop the drive shaft and give it a look.

a clicking sound would usually mean it's coming from the rear.. i've never hear of a u joint making a clicking sound.. you could have dirt in there or have broken a tooth and the metal is jumping around on top of the gears.. to figure it out, jack the car up, drop the drive shaft and spin the tires and see if you have a clicking sound.. if so, you are gonna have to take apart the rear and see if it's the gears or the posi unit.. but while your in there you might as well change out the gears
