To troubleshoot the problem, you will need to determine which component is causing the clicking noise. You can do this by listening carefully to the noise and trying to identify the location where it is coming from. Once you have identified the component, you can then inspect it for damage or wear. If you are not comfortable inspecting the components yourself, you can take your car to a mechanic.
