Default Clicking noise at the torsion bars

Maybe some of you solved the light clicking sound that is hardly to find and is probably related with the rear end of the torsion bars (passenger side I believe). You hear it when the Blazer starts, stops, is bounced side to side (engine off) or even when you go out of it. Is a very clear metallic, not heavy, single sound and it is hard to be repeated in a row.
The mechanic turned a 18 mm nut there and the clicking went for only one day or so.
The other stupid noise I have is something loose at the rear, noticeable in poor pavement. Drivers side rear end, I believed the gas lid, or the jack , the bumper or even the tail lamp, but failed to stop it. Any guess?. Tks.

The noise from the front is probably a bad torsion bar bushing , as for the back your going to have to be a little more specific as it could be anything ?

The rear noise resulted in a loose bolt of the plastic part of the bumper. There are 5 and 3 screws. The plastic piece hit the steel bumper under special road vibrations.
The clicking noise is in good health, despite I greased all around. Still is heard at the torsion sub frame. Is not permanent but if you rock the car one or two clickings may be obtained, but not always.
