Clicking noise while driving...

So of course these things happen when you're 30+ miles from home, not when you're going around the block....

My car is a 1985 300td with 235,000 miles.

So one mile from my destination on a 45 mile (each way) trip to find a good door for my pickup, I started to hear a clicking noisem definitely on the driver's side, and I think at the rear of my car. The faster the car was going, the faster the clicking noise would occur. Whenever I would apply the brakes, at any speed, it would immediately go away, but then start again once I released the brakes. I drove home with it for 10 miles, and then it went away, but started again 2 miles from my house. I didn't notice any difference in the performance of the vehicle.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Bryan

Happy Motoring, Mark
