 On the clicking noise...I just had one of those...I found the 19mm socket
had slipped off my electric impact tool's driver and stayed on one of the
lug bolts, last time I removed and replaced my wheel.   It had finally
dropped off the nut and was inside my cheapo wheel cover, clicking
around... I have also found gravel or small rocks behind a wheel cover .
