One thought is to swap ends of the one shaft on the side making the noise. If the noise goes away or the click/squeak frequency changes, you got the problem isolated. You swap ends and the thrust surfaces are reoriented to unused surfaces.
Now, I have only read about this trick but never tried it. Bummer is, for the same amount of work, you could have a new "turnkey" shaft installed.
If you have a pnuematic ratchet with a hex drive, the task would not be too bad.

I had a 76 turbo that made that noise only after I drove it about 5 or 6 miles. I found that the emergency shoe would heat up
and tighten up on the inside of the rotor. Took of the rotor found the broken v clip inside replaced it problem solved.
