1999 Grand Prix GT
I've had two mechanics look at it, and couldn't figure it out. Or duplicate it on a hoist. Funny thing is, you can not tell if the clicking is coming from the right side or the left side.
Ive replaced hubs, struts, brakes, rotors, calipers, when they needed it. didn't solve the problem. I finally just replaced the the obvious. What every mechanic says ....... half shafts. ....Nada
It has been at least 2 years, with this problem now. It's just very annoying.

You actually have the 4T65E. The solenoids are on the valve body when is inside the side cover that you see on the drivers side just below the cross over exhaust pipe.
Its not easy task changing them out without taking the transmission out. It can be done but would be an involved process in getting that thing lowered enough on that side to clear the side cover and to get access to that area and for what all is involved it may be simpler to just drop the tranny.
That said, there is an online community you can visit at www.grandprixforums.net that has many knowledgeable people on it not the least of which is a transmission builder that makes his living working on and building 4T65E's, 4L60E's and so on. If you like, sign up there and post up your dilemma there and see what input you get.
I own a 2001 Grand Prix GTP and Ive pulled both the engine and transmission and I would be hesitant to try and do the work you will need to do without dropping the tranny.
SOURCE: need to replace rear struts
It depends on who does it. If you are doing it by yourself, I would allow at least a couple of hours on each side, although it should take no more than one per side. If you have air tools and a lift, it should take between an hour or two from start to finish, since removing wheels, bolts etc would be fast. Hope this helps you, Rick
SOURCE: weird noise in front of car
How would changing the rear pads fix a noise in the front? Take the front wheels off and look for excess rust on the discs or grit in or on the pads. It sounds like you might be competent enough to take the calipers off (it's not very hard). If the noise gets louder with speed, it could very well be the bearings. This is much harder to do yourself (yay FWD), and you might want to get it towed so you don't damage the hubs, etc. Just shaking the wheel probably isn't enough to diagnose bad bearings.

I had the same problem my car. It started once in a while until the light would not go off. My husband looked at it and he said the wire on the antilock brake bearing hub corroded and came off. Maybe yours is starting to corrode. My husband said to tell you that there are two wires that come out of the back of the bearing hub. He soddered it together on mine and I hav not had a problem since.

No wheel covers
If you have wheel covers, remove them and try it.
