Major Ticking Sound

[sa6988]

I have an 87 Mustang 5.0 and i have this really annoying ticking sound that seems to have grown louder over time coming from the tires on my passenger side. Could someone help me out and tell me what it is? Could it be just a rock in both treads? or what? I dont know but i need to fix this problem i dont like driving around with this damn ticking. Your help is greatly appreciated

well, have you pulled the wheel or jacked it up and checked it for rocks or other debris? that is where i would start.
