The Bad Noise is Back (Now with Video)

My SC is making a noise when under acceleration. No noise on braking or coasting. Noise comes from the rear passenger side, and ticks at the wheel's speed.

It only seems to happen when the car is pretty warm - ie. after some moderate highway speed. If I am in gear but coasting, it does not happen.

I already replaced the engine mounts last month. There isn't anything bumping around in the engine compartment. The CV boots don't have any tears or weird bulges, and there is no evidence of escaped grease.

My only idea remaining is that one of the passenger-side CV joints has something bad going on inside the joint. When the grease is cool, it sufficiently lubricates. After a lot of driving, the grease thins out and the joint becomes noisy when under torque. But that's just an idea.

First video.

Second Video. Still being cropped by youtube, so you will need to wait a few seconds until the wind noise dies and you can hear the clicking.
