Default clicking grinding noise??

Having an odd clicking grinding noise when I drive and specially in reverse? Not sure what it is but it seems to be comming from the pass side rear tire area! Any ideas?

Wheel bearing?

Does it make the noise all the time or only under certain circumstances? I know you said especially in reverse, but what else?

even while driving you can hear it. That is what my friends are saying too that its the wheel bearing.. So I guess replace that first then go from there!

Let me know if that works. That is the only thing I haven't done. Those buggers are tough. M
