Argh, noise from rear wheel
 

At low speeds, I'm hearing a clinking type sound coming from the rear right wheel. It usually happens when turning. The Chilton manual is a lot of help, for troubleshooting it recommends "inspecting the tire for debris", yeah whatever, this is a mechanical noise.

On visual inspection, everything looks tight and connected. Lug nuts are tight. Bad bearing possibly?

Guess off the top of my head is bearing.

I was about to say the lugs arent tight but maybe the drums? While driving, pull the ebrake a little to see if the clinking stops.

Mine does the exact same thing! I'm pretty sure that it's the drum cause it'll do it if I lightly pull the ebrake too. It'll go away and come back every now and then. I pretend like it's not there.[sm=grinangel.gif]

if you speed up or slow down, does the noise speed up or slow down? like something's hitting something as the wheel spins?

If the bearings were worn, then the sound would come at like 30mph+.

I drove with the ebrake slightly engaged, and the sound got worse. The sound is slowly getting worse over time too.

I only hear it at the lowest speeds, and especially when turning. The sound goes away completely at 20+ MPH

because you're not applying the brakes;). I dont think its the turn's fault that you hear the noise, its the brakes being applied through that turn. I could VERY well be wrong tho.

It happens turning on/off ramps with no brakes being applied, and cruising through a parking lot with no brakes applied.
