I'm noticing a clicking/ticking sound coming from the front end, (sounds like maybe from the right side) under acceleration at low speed. The noise is also present when coming to a stop. It seems to be worse when turning under acceleration. At higher speeds the noise goes away. (Will generally stop once I hit 15mph or so)
The noise is not present when the car is cold. Takes about 15 minutes of driving before it becomes noticeable at all.
Car seems to be running well, no issues shifting.
Will try to provide more details as needed. [Reply]

Yes, no CV joint in the front if it’s a rear wheel drive. Bearings usually growl more than click. But they will make noises at certain speeds and when under pressure when turning.

Find an area where you can drive slowly along side a building. A shopping center, grocery store parking lot, something like that. Roll down your windows and drive along until you hear the clicking. Slowly swerve enough to transfer the weight of the car from left to right and back. If you here the clicking increase when swerving it's probably a bearing.. [Reply]
