If it's just clicking that does not necessarily mean it's on the way to failure, there are many people who have had the axle nut slip, having the nut re-torqued has solved clicking noises in the past and the axles have survived for tens of thousands of miles afterwards. I would believe that after a few hard launches something slipped creating the noise. I'd angle for that, should be a simple job that falls under basic warranty work for well under an hour.

Just my 2 cents before you go tearing apart your rear end and blowing a couple hundred bucks.
