diff, rear suspension, tie rod ends, loose parts, its a number of thing. what kind of clicking sounds? more of a knocking sound like a pop? we need more info. can you lay a camera down when you are backing out so we can hear it for ourselves?

Inspect your suspension and also see if there is any free play on the wheels (bearings). Your brake pads are ok? Might need to take the tires off an inspect each wheel and the local suspension. Also check your DIFF lube.
