Default Where's this clicking coming from???

Got a wierd clicking noise coming from the front passenger wheel when i turn the wheel to the right. Doesnt sound like a wheel bearing knock, its more like a high pitch metal click and dont know what might be causing this , all i know is that it dont sound healthy. Anyone else come across this before.

Oh its an 02 Blobeye btw

Check your brake lines are not touching the driveshafts.

Stone/debris trapped between the pad and disc?? I had this recently. Look for slight scoring on the disc and pad.

I would jack the car up and check the bearing if i were you, it is a common failure and it can make the weirdest noises speaking from personnal experience.

ive had the drive shaft nuts become ever so slightly loose over time, causing the drive shaft to click in the hub flange. check the torque of the nut, if its not up to the correct torque that subaru say, replace the nut and torque it up. (making sure you lock it after!! )
