Weird noise coming from passenger rear axle
I took the wheel off for a closer look but didn't notice anything worn or out of the ordinary.
The sound is like a light metal clanking noise similar to the noise made by the front lower ball joints before they failed.
The noise happens mostly at idle speed and more so on turns. W the car in park if you push the car from one side or the other, the car will also make the sound.
After inspecting and finding nothing wrong, I put the wheel back on and the noise goes away for a day or two but unfortunately comes back
1998 Lexus gs 300
Thanks in advance.

well, your assuming I know what a knuckle is or what a bushing was before reading the thread.. all I knew was weird noise.. I needed help making that connection. Any way, Thank you very much for the heads up! Lexus wanted $65 just for diagnosis which I was going to pay but they then said 2 hour wait.
Is there any danger of driving w/ this condition or is this merely an annoyance factor?
