Hey guys, so I recently noticed that my front passenger side wheel makes a clicking sound when I am going straight or slightly turning. The sound goes away when making hard turns and the clicking speeds up the faster I go. I'm thinking it might be the wheel bearing or a CV Joint. I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has experienced this before and what caused the issue.

I took a video that shows the sound (albeit very muffled by the wind)

Could also be something associated with the brake pad, caliper, or rotor itself. Loose clip or something? Sounds likely metal on metal contact. My wife's Honda Fit had similar noise but only when turning or braking... turned out to be the rotor was slightly warped.

I also agree with you that it could be a wheel bearing.

Mustangs are rear wheel drive so they don't have CV joints (in the front). I'm not sure exactly what the equivalent joint or axle type component a Mustang has there instead.
