Yup, most likely the axle bolts. I had a loud clicking/knocking sound coming from the passenger rear........1st, 2nd, and reverse, the sound was very obvious. Very easy fix.

It was a pretty simple DIY, just pull out the axles and regrease them. I didnt need to replace the bolts and the clicking sound went away.
