Clicking sound from '03 Ford Explorer

I have a 2003 Explorer. Recently, a clicking can be heard that seems to be coming from the rear of the car. The clicking doesn't usually start until the car has been driven for about 10 miles. After that, the clicking occurs mainly when the car is turned to the right. The clicking speed increases when the speed of the car increases. Any ideas to what this could be? Thanks for any help.

I've had it looked at by one mechanic. He inspected the brakes and said everything looked fine there. Then said he thought it was coming from the rear differential, which has to be serviced by Ford.

If it's comming form the rear I would say take it back to ford. It sounds to me like the rear differential(rear end). The whole purpose of a differential is to allow the outside wheel to turn faster. So if it is clicking when you turn right, I would say it's a differential problem.
