Hello all. So guys I have a very weird noise coming from the rear right wheel. Long story story both rear bearings are replaced in March and both rotors and pads also in April. When I take a car for a spin everything sounds normal until maybe after 10-20 minutes driving until I drive on a bumpy road (not always though but I noticed it 7 out 10 times is happening maybe due to the bumpy road). Then I'll hear a clunking noise on my rear passenger side and everytime I turn to the left my rear right wheel makes a scraping noise. Now if I wait let say for 2 minutes without moving the car the noise will disappear but will come back if I go over a bumpy road (7 out of 10 times).
I wanna show it to my mechanic but since is random everytime I have this noise and I tried to go to the garage of course the noise disappears.
any ideas?? I appreciate your help guys
PS. : first time I heard the rear passenger side craping noise when turning left, was after I engaged and disbanded the handbrake (foot brake). I parked on a downward slant and then when I left I start hearing the scraping noise when turn left.

Clunking noises can be hard to troubleshoot especially if sporadic. I would start with the basics: check bushing, control arm, sway bar links, and the strut itself.
Scraping noise could be the dust shields rusting to shreds and touching the rotors. Very common on RX's in places that use road salt. I have sawed off chunks on RX's I do rear brakes for. I'm 3/3 on rusted shields.
