Turntable clicking? problem

My turntable is making a clicking sound occasionally.
It's happening at the same interval on rotation. I have heard similar sound when it gets to the end of the record and it keeps spinning. It isn't constant tho.

Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.
And what is causing it whether it be needle, ground, balance, force.

I'm confused.

I have a Denon 300, it's fully auto. A shure 97x needle that was replaced not so long ago.
No preamp is being used, it runs to phono in my Onkyo amp

Is the clicking coming from your machine acoustically or is it present in the signal?

I was hearing it through the speaker.

The noise is currently gone after I zeroed out the counterweight and anti-skate, reset them and that appeared to do the trick.

Nice fix. There really needs to be a troubleshooting database...

Good. That should save a few records too...
