So i have been hearing a clicking coming from my passenger side. It goes away momentarily when turning to the right but will come back after the initial turn in...this video was taken going about 10-15mph. Just curious if anyone else has heard something similar coming from their mini and what the fix was. Link to video is below:

 

It was hard for me to hear, jack up the car so that the she is off the ground. Grab the tire so one hand is towards the front of the car and the other towards the back. Push and pull on the tire and see if there is any play. If there is then you have a bad tirod. Now grab the top and bottom of the tire do the same thing, if there is a lot of play then it's a bad wheel bearing.

 

ok, forgot to mention that there is no noticeable play at the wheel back and forth or up and down....and it does not make the clicking when the wheel is being spun by hand while up in the air....only does it while there is load on it. It is a constant clicking. (Like you would hear if there were rocks in the tire tread)....not just one click or pop upon turning like a control arm would be.

 

Is it a rotational clicking ? When a wheel bearing goes it has noticible howling from the hub area at speed, and sound typically gets louder as speed increases.

It has been my experience a clicking noise from there is due to the hub nut not being properly torqued to spec. Has the hub ever been removed ? Check the nut, they are usually peened over at the factory to keep frm backing out..

 

I myself have never removed the hub...i bought the vehicle used at about 56k and have never had this clicking until now at 77k. Yes it is most definitely rotational....i have noticed some "howling" but not from front right area....i have been attributing the noise to the rear tires which i am having changed on saturday...so we will know for sure on sat if there is some other issue

 

If there's a clicking noise that comes/goes as you turn the wheel, then check the CV joints on the drive axles.

 

Have that hub nut re-torqued....it has backed out. Even a smidgen is enough to cause this....
