I'm starting to wonder if this is my culprit, how did you diagnose it?

take off 2 lug nuts, and drive slow speeds (don't be stupid) and see if it clicks "less". If it does, its because there are less lug nuts hitting the parking brake.

Its not going to be unsafe driving slowly on 3 lug nuts as long as you don't do anything silly.

You should be able to do this without driving though if you spin the wheel fast enough.

This happened a few month's ago on my 89 300e, when I removed the rear disc a couple of springs fell out on the floor. The handbrake shoe retaining springs had broken allowing the shoes to lean on the back of the hub.

Alright so I still had my clicking problem which was getting really loud but my tank kept leaking gas so I ended up just taking it to a mech and had him put on my center support for the driveshaft since mine was shot and causing a vibration, well wouldn't you know it..This was more than a month ago and I haven't had an issue with clicking at all! I don't know how this fixed it but no more clicking! So if anyone has clicking like I did and the above advice from others doesn't work, change out your center support! Cause for some reason that fix my clicking!
