Clicking after installing rear wheel bearing?

I just replaced my rear wheel bearings two weeks ago. When I come to a stop @ a stop sign and then take off I hear this like click. Only does it once and I don't hear it again till the next stop sign. When I drag the brake going around a corner it also does it but then it keeps clicking until I swerve back and forth then it stops. Only right hand corners and sounds like it is coming from the passenger side rear. Don't know if its something loose or if I got a bad wheel bearing. Any suggestions?

You either ironically got the axle ticking noise after installing the bearing, which is a TSB. Fix is you remove the rear axle, put molykote on the threads and then install the axle again. When you install the axle you have to rotate it 180 degrees from the position in which you removed it.

If it is coming from the side where you replaced the wheel bearing you might want to torque your axle down some more might not be tight enough.

I think the torque spec on them is 177 ft/lb so make sure they're tight!
