to check jack the car up so the tire is off the ground and grap the tire at 3 and 9 oclock and try and pull with one hand and push with the other and then the other way, if you move it more than,???? i dont know like .10 it means its the bearing. i could be mistaken but you should be able to tighen it up. but if it wore out, its wore out and need to be changed hope this helps.

check for a nail/screw/glass/rock in your tire also. after about 30 its oscilating so fast that you cant hear it and it blends in with the tire noise.

loose lug nuts may also be the culprit...even if 1 or 2 are loose.

i am having a similar iss ue but its the rear dirver side.

its a random clicking noise (like metal on metal) when im going below 15mph, pretty much just rolling.. its not even constant.. mor elike a: tink..tinktinktink...tink..tink...
then as you accel. goes away....

I will have the wheel bearing inspected... I already rebuilt all 4 calipers and did full brake job but sound persists.

hehehe, SC at 3 issues: sub02 sensor, TRAC light is on always, and now the clicking,

but she's still driving strong at 200,000!!!!

Check your halfshafts, that sounds like it could be a CV joint.

This is also going to depend on which wheel its coming from. Do a search and you will find many culprits from the simple to the complex.
