Clunk/Click from the rear

[Captrs777]

Ever since I got the car back I keep hearing a clunk from the back of the vehicle near the wheel/differential area. Is this a known issue or anyone have an idea? Sometimes nothing for a while, sometimes a single click, sometime multiple. The car drives amazing on the new wheels/tires so I don't notice any issues with drivability but it's quite audible and just driving me nuts. Possible E brake sticking? Brake pads sticking?

Welp long story short. Do your own work if you can. None of the hubcentric rings were put on the vehicle. I pulled all the wheels, installed the rings, and all the clicking noises went away. I assume it was the lugs/studs stressing as they were absolutely horrible to get off for such a new job. Cannot believe they were left off, but was told they "aren't always needed". ??

The clunking noise is either a lug or something left in the tire. Looking to get a partial refund and get whatever is in it out tomorrow. Just can't win for losing on this car and getting work done around here, but should finally be fixed once this is resolved.

Hi there! Will you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end. Thanks!

Resolved it myself. Dealership refunded me labor and are replacing the broken TPMS sensor they installed incorrectly. I installed the hubcentric rings myself. No more issues once it comes in.
