Hey guys im experiencing a rattling/ ticking sound plus there also seems to be alot more road noise. I took the wheel off to see if i could find anything like a stone caught behind disc and the cover but couldnt find anything. Just wondering if it sounds like I need my wheel bearing replaced

Front or rear?

Oops sorry. Left rear

Hard to diagnose a sound from a description. What condition are your brake pads and rotors in?

Hey Aus the rotors look fine and my brakes were done about 15000 kms ago. The sound can almost be described as a small pebble in a can rattling around + load road noise.

Loud road noise I meant to say

I personally have no experience with bearing noise but it does sound like that's what it is.

jack up the car and wriggle the wheel if there's movement your wheel bearing is gone.

i still have that similar sound, only while driving though.
its cuz my rear brake dust cover is too close to my rotors, so it vibrates against the rotor while moving.

I had my right rear wheelbearing replaced.
It was quite a few years ago so I do not recall the symptoms all that well but as I recall it was a kind of quiet clicking noise that I could hear when driving at low speeds, like backing out of the drive. I think it was also more prominent when turning.
