I'll do more of an inspection for road debris before checking the wheel bearing.

After checking with PT3 again, that is the cause of the noise in the video.

My advice :: if you don't want to put a wheel bearing in if you don't have to ..,then just dissemble the whole right rear assembly and inspect EVERYTHING closely,, then if you don't see anything , bit the bullet and replace the wheel bearing..lol
Replace when taking a hard left or right prolonged turn

Does the noise change when taking a hard left or right prolonged turn...?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have had this noise for a few weeks from the passenger rear wheel. Seems to be only when driving on the road. I put the car on jack stands and tested at low speed running . No noise could be heard. My friend who is a retired mechanic thought it may be the wheel bearing. He also thought long shot cracked rotor, but I removed the rotor and it appears good. Does anyone else agree it�s the wheel bearing before I take it apart ?
thanks
That's not the usual noise of a bad wheel bearing..
But that doesn't mean that a wheel bearing "can't" make a different unusual noise
The most common cause of wheel noise while driving is road debris ( rock, gravel, stick, plastic) getting stuck in the brake caliper or dust shield
But that doesn't explain why it takes the load of the car weight to hear the noise...
Not much help I know but noises can be difficult to track down if they only do it going down the road.....

Thanks, Porschetech 3 for listening to the noise. I'll do more of an inspection for road debris before checking the wheel bearing. I also think it's not the usual noise, my wife has a Volvo that had a bad wheel bearing a few months ago and it was more of a "metallic" screech/scrape noise.
Ya, thinking the emergency brake could make a noise like that. But as PT3 says, that doesn't explain the road pressure needed to cause the noise.
Wondering if anything is touching the axle or cv joint when suspension is loaded on the road..?
Does the noise change when taking a hard left or right prolonged turn...?
How old and hard are your rear tires? I had and older set of rear tires on my 996.2 cabrio when I bought it that both my mechanic and I thought was a wheel bearing problem. New tires totally cured the problem.
Thanks for the advice above, Vintage-mech, PT3 and allcool. So, I started a gradual check and I switched the wheel from passenger rear to driver rear and sure enough the noise is now on the other side......
I'm surprised as the tires are from 2022 but they have some wear and that must be enough. They are Continental sport plus tires.
After looking at the wheel concerned more closely, there are 3 missing titanium wheel bolt heads that are sheared off. A couple more bolts are over tightened. After checking with PT3 again, that is the cause of the noise in the video. Planning to replace the wheel . Hopefully this helps anyone else with a similar noise . The car has had some deferred maintenance but hope to gradually give it some care to bring it up to being a reliable daily driver.
Assuming you mean the bolts that hold a 3 piece wheel together, right..? As it couldn't be 1 of the wheel hub bolts, as thats pretty hard to not notice a problem there when removing & installing wheels from side to side...
Smart. You just saved yourself a ton of work. Troubleshooting is an art and a science, but if there are 10 variables, in one change, you can eliminate 5 of them. In your case, 8 of them.
