Hello fellow CL peeps!
I am new to the forum as of 5 mins ago!
But as my title says I got some weird noise coming from my front passenger wheel.
The best way i can describe it is like something is stuck up in there and that the wheel has a bump on the threads.
I checked and nothing seems odd. tire looks good.
Bought the car like 3 days ago on the low and well it doesnt seem like it's a bad fix. It had them special lug nuts so I cant take out the wheel to inspect better.
But what should i look for when I get to take the wheel of?
If i can make a video I will link it ASAP!

First off, welcome to CL! Check your wheel bearing. Lift it, then push on the 2 o'clock and and 10 o'clock. If theres any movement at all thats a confirmation that its bad. It shouldn't budge at all and stay in proper rotation.

Hey fellas i managed to record a video.. this is the sound it makes. Hopefully based on this you can help me figure out. It also kinda changes the pitch of the noise when i swerve from left to right... could it be a bad axle?
Doesnt make the crunky cracking noises when they get dirty from bad boots.
Here is the video

I did wiggle to the tire and no play from the wheel at all.
Could worn out bushing on a control arm do the noise?
the axle boots look in good condition. no tares

just because theres no play doesnt mean the bearing isnt bad. i'm a mechanic at an acura dealer and have come across this several times.

Never really changed a wheel bearing but what are the parts I will need? I looked and all i see is the bearing itself.. will i need other parts? or just the bearing itself?
