I am new to all of this, but I have recently had a strange noise coming from passenger side rear wheel. It seems almost as a thumping or clicking sound every revolution. The brake pads still have plenty of wear left, tires were rotated and still producing noise in that spot. I have read many posts saying it could be bearing. Anyone else ran into this problem or know of a solution?

I would jack the back end up, use jack stands under the rear axle, spin the tire by hand, can you hear the clicking sound?

Why am I suspecting a prank by someone adding a tie-wrap somewhere that is smacking around? But yeah, visual inspection would be the first step to see if you can track down more specifically where the sound is coming from.

I have searched the whole car for pieces like that, but it was a like metal shearing sound a few months ago every time I would go to leave work. It would do it for about 100 ft then stop so I always thought it was just brake dust or maybe a residue from the rain possibly.

How many miles (which may indicate an amount of wear on the bearings), and could it be the wheel-bearing?

So you have checked the brake pads and there is movement when you push on the wheel?

I’ve checked them to see if there was wear on them. but when i turn the wheel in a revolution you can see the brake pads moving up or down inside of the hardware of the brake caliper depending on which way i turn the wheel.

so you think it’s the brake pads moving inside causing the issue?

They are not supposed to move around like that. Are you missing brake hardware or something?
