I have a 2001 Silverado 2WD and when I go around corners I hear a clicking sound coming from the rear wheels. I can hear coming from both sides. If I turn right I hear it on the right side more (which has less weight on it during a right turn) and when I turn left on the left more. I think I can hear it during straight aways, but it is very faint. Also, notice it most going around a corner at about 30 to 40 mph.
Could be a rock in the tire?
You can see them, one per side, using a tool simular to a long screw driver and gently
prying upward is one way to see if there is play in the u-joint.
When they get worn they may click, snap or clunk, but usually click in 2WD.

Actually, I figured it out. The there are these metal plates behind inside, they must protect he wheel from rocks and stuff from getting into the hub. It is stationary, but part of it sits inside the hub of th wheel, which of course turns. Well the stationary guard is rusted and was rubbing. And I had the problem backwards, the noise was more noticeable on the opposite side of the turn. So when I took a right turn the left side would make noise because more weight was on it.
