Car: 1999 Infiniti QX4 $ Pit

I need help here, I have a 1999 QX4 and the problem i'm having is from a full stop, when i take my foot off the brake and press the gas you can hear a loud 'Click" from the rear right of the vehicle. Forward, reverse whatever, it will click. Just a single click. When I come to a full immediate stop, you can sometimes hear the same "Click" but not as often. It seems more apparant when the vehicle is not on the hoist, and has the full weight on the ground. I already replaced the rear sway-bar links and the lower trailing arm bushings because they were gone however i'm going crazy with this "Click". Thanks for reading, I hope somewone can help.

There's a flaw with the design of the upper mount for the right rear shocks. Pebbles get wedged in the gap and make noise. If thats the case you should be able to feel it with your finger. Hope that helps
