Right rear axle clinking

[Daves99a]

I am hearing a noise like a metallic squeak when going forward and back in the right rear wheel around the axle
I raised the rear up and heard it making more of a clink when it made a revolution- same place every time
Any thoughts on what this may be? The lugs were loose and we tightened them - they were not floppy but still loose - we thought the noise was the loose lugs but now they've been tightened and it still does it

We are assuming this is one a M6040?

Yes that is correct

I would pull all the lugnuts and look for cracks around the holes.
I would also remove the wheel and make sure there is nothing between the rim and the axle.
Then if your noise continues your looking at an internal issue.
