Please excuse my stupidity, but I was mistaking the clicking from the BLINKER in the first video, for the clicking coming from my car.

with that said, the sound I hear is similar to that of a blinker! lmao

I've noticed a slight whistling sound coming from the rear. I'll hear it for a short time and then it disappears, but then it comes back. Is this related to bad bearings or the axle click problem?

I believe I have a wheel bearing issue too. At startoff or low speeds, i hear it the most when making left turns so i believe its the front right bearing. I took it to a shop to diagnose the problem and low-and-behold...it didnt make a sound when he drove it. smh. He told me if it was the bearing, he'd have to replace the whole hub assembly and w/ labor...that'd be around $350. Does that sound about right to you guys. I also have a tire pressure light on, do you think this might have caused this or could help with the issue. Its an 05 coupe btw. Thanks guys

I have had both rears and one front go bad in the last 10k miles (90k to 100k)

I couldn't feel any play or hear much noise while the car was in the air. The noise I did hear i thought was from the parking brake. When they were pulled apart the oe bearings where definitely shot.

The sound I'm hearing is a light whistling sound coming from the front right side of the car. Is this the bearings or something else?
